Program Details:
Program Overview:
Delivered across 10 focused sessions of 3 hours each, the AI Leaders Forum follows a structured yet dynamic progression designed for executive-level engagement. The program opens with an orientation and AI landscape briefing, followed by a deep dive into the E-AI Discipline Framework and cohort presentation preparation. The core of the program is driven by member presentations — where each participant brings a real internal AI challenge, roadmap, or case study for live peer review and strategic deconstruction. Sessions progress through governance and ethics, change management, enterprise failure recovery, and ROI justification, culminating in findings presentations and a sustained networking session. Chatham House Rules apply throughout, ensuring a secure and confidential environment for open strategic dialogue.
Key Features:
- Strictly capped at 8 to 16 executives to ensure deep, meaningful engagement and psychological safety.
- 10 focused sessions delivered entirely Live Online (1 session per month, 3 hours per session).
- Zero theoretical fluff. The curriculum relies on deconstructing real, live enterprise challenges brought forward by the cohort.
- Chatham House Rules applied throughout — a fully confidential environment for open discussion of sensitive corporate challenges.
- Rigorous peer-to-peer review sessions where leaders pitch, defend, and refine their corporate strategies against cross-industry executive scrutiny.
- Participants are awarded an executive credential validating their mastery of the E-AI Discipline Framework and inducted into the alumni network.
