Leading the AI Transformation Process
Leading the AI Transformation Process is a one-day module in the AI for Leaders and Decision-Makers program and can also be taken as a stand-alone program.
The Leading the AI Transformation Process program introduces the participants to the organizational side of AI-driven business transformation. We discuss the implications of AI on the design of organizational structures and associated digital culture in companies. Participants will learn how to develop team-based, agile organizations that can redefine and adapt AI-augmented processes, helping the firm respond more swiftly to market changes and new customer demands. By embracing data-driven management practices and transparency, organizations can make informed decisions and enable bottom-up collaborative initiatives and problem solving.
We also discuss leadership challenges and tasks related to AI transformation. This includes fostering a data-driven culture and incorporating AI into existing knowledge work and mindsets. Participants will also gain insights into defining a compelling AI vision for the organization as well as the broader ecosystem, and how to use digital data to drive growth and align incentives in the organization.
Benefits

It also strengthens the participants’ strategic thinking, thus increasing their understanding of why businesses need to transform and how they themselves can become drivers of organizational transformation.
