Empower your leadership for the GenAI revolution
Develop leadership that provides direction, connects, coaches and steers in times of fundamental change.
Generative AI is changing not only the outside world—but also the way we collaborate, make decisions and shape change within our organisations. Not next year, but now.
This two-day leadership training provides you with the insights, reflection and tools to strengthen your role as a leader in all aspects of leadership: strategic, relational, operational and transformational.
You will learn how to be an effective leader in a GenAI transformation that requires vision, connection and resilience from your role.
Why this training, why now?
The GenAI revolution is not a vision of the future—it has already begun. In many organisations, AI is already seeping in through tools, processes and people. But there is often a lack of direction, guidance and leadership to steer this change.
Leaders are finding that existing ways of managing, coaching and controlling are coming under pressure. And that AI is having an impact on more than just technology: also on culture, ethics, decision-making and collaboration.
Yet the urgency for effective leadership is still not widely felt. This training makes you aware of what is at stake and offers you the perspective and practical tools to meaningfully engage with it from your role.
The future does not wait. It is up to leaders to help shape it.
For whom?
Middle and senior management
Professionals who actively contribute to the transformation of their organisation
Change agents
Changers who guide and implement transformation processes
Staff departments
Representatives of HR and Finance who play an essential role in connecting technology, processes and people
Whether you are leading teams, carrying out change management or developing policy around AI, this programme offers you the insights and skills to confidently steer change.
Programme Content
This training supports leaders in the transition from uncertainty and hesitation to self-assured, strategic direction. Participants will learn how to not only understand AI, but also how to deploy it ethically and strategically within their organisation, with a focus on people, processes and culture.
Scientifically Grounded
Our leadership approach is based on an integrated theoretical model from years of academic research, connecting behavioral competencies with internal beliefs for a deep understanding of leadership effectiveness.
Systems Thinking
The theory combines systems thinking, Adult Development and organizational development, validated by empirical research and practical application in various sectors.
Focus on Leadership
Note: This training is not a tool training. Although we will work with GenAI tools such as ChatGPT, the emphasis is on the role of leadership and the realisation of a successful, human-centric AI transformation.
Programme Overview
Pre-event - Optional Clinic
For participants who want to deepen their practical experience with GenAI, we are organising an interactive clinic the evening before the official start. You will explore GenAI tools and applications so that you can begin the training with confidence.
