How do you generate profitable growth in the age of AI?
Generative AI has moved from curiosity to core capability. Agentic AI and other recent breakthroughs are further accelerating this shift. The question is no longer if AI will transform your business – but where, how fast, and how you as a board member or CEO should steer in this transformation.
Workshop format
- In-person and interactive
- 6–10 participants to maximize discussion and peer learning
Who should attend?

- Understand how to set direction, allocate capital and govern AI initiatives at enterprise scale
- Clarify what good looks like and how to hold management accountable
Whether you are at the beginning of your AI journey or already advanced, this session will deepen your understanding and clarify the actions that the board and top management need to take
Through the day you will get
- Clarity on how to create enterprise value from AI
