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 C-level executive should steer in this transformation.
Workshop format
- In-person and interactive
- 6–10 participants to maximize discussion and peer learning
Who should attend?
C-level executives who seek to:
- Use AI to power growth, competitiveness and profitability – not just efficiency
- Find practical ways to govern and lead to generate profitable growth from data and AI
- Understand how to set direction, allocate capital and govern AI initiatives at enterprise scale
Whether you are at the beginning of your AI journey or already advanced, this session will deepen your understanding and clarify the actions that top management needs to take
Through the day you will get:
- Clarity on how to create enterprise value from AI
- Understanding of your governance role – what to own, delegate, and oversee
- Strategy framework for AI-driven growth across technology, skills and culture
- Clarity on how to embed AI risks and resilience into board decisions and policies
- A learning toolkit with pre-event readings, materials, and a custom AI-based “growth advisor”
- Peer insights from fellow C-level leaders on how AI is impacting business

"AI will bring significant transformation, and executive management teams needs to establish a structured approach to handle it. This workshop gave me as a board member an understanding about the right questions to ask, and a clear picture of what a solid approach looks like. It was very valuable to exchange approaches, challenges and questions among the other participants, as the discussions were lively throughout the day"
