Why now

AI adoption is outpacing organizational change.

People are getting more productive with AI. Far fewer organizations are seeing that show up in results. The difference lies in how work, decisions, and teams are designed around the technology.

Which structures, assumptions, and leadership practices are limiting what your organization can achieve?

The program

Bring a real challenge. Leave with a blueprint.

Over eight weeks, you work on a challenge from your own work, team, or organization, alongside scholars, AI practitioners, experienced operators, and peers from other industries.

Sharper judgment

Lead well as AI changes work, responsibility, and decision-making.

New ways of working

Rethink workflows, roles, team structures, and operating models.

Untapped talent

Recognize and develop human capabilities your systems may overlook.

Smarter teams

Combine different perspectives and forms of intelligence, human and AI.

A culture of experimentation

Build the conditions for learning and sustained adaptability.

Measurable next steps

Turn ideas into design choices, priorities, and experiments you can test.

How it works

Define your challenge and the outcomes that matter

Surface the assumptions behind it

Examine it through multiple disciplines

Explore alternatives and their trade-offs

Design decisions and practical experiments

Present a blueprint with priorities and next steps

Faculty and experts

Learn across disciplines, not inside one.

Researchers, technology builders, and enterprise leaders look at the same problem from different angles, so you can test what each perspective reveals or overlooks.
