AI Technology Strategy Days (ATS)

Think Like an AI Strategist. Lead Like One.

AI is reshaping how organizations compete, but knowing which tools to use is no longer enough. The real challenge is turning scattered experiments into a coherent strategy that drives decisions at the executive level.

Course Description

Over three intensive days, the AI Technology Strategy Days give you the frameworks, tools, and hands-on experience to do exactly that. You will develop a Personal AI Strategy Consultant tailored to your own organization and strategic challenges. You will then explore how AI transformation unfolds at the enterprise level and experience the strategic trade-offs involved through an interactive StratPlay simulation. The program concludes by introducing the emerging frontier of in-silico modeling, where AI-driven simulations allow organizations to test strategic decisions using digital populations and simulated stakeholders.

Who Is this Program for?

The program is designed for senior managers, strategy leaders, innovation managers, and executives who want to understand how AI can support strategic decision making and organizational transformation.

No programming background is required. The course focuses on strategic application and executive decision-making, rather than technical implementation.

We invite you to bring real strategic challenges from your own organization, which can be explored during the hands-on AI consultant development and simulation sessions.
