Understanding the Fundamentals of the AI Enterprise

Artificial intelligence is fundamentally transforming how organizations create value, operate, and differentiate themselves. As AI becomes a strategic capability, executives and senior leaders must move beyond the deployment of isolated solutions and lead a genuine enterprise-wide AI transformation—without which no substantial return on investment can be achieved. Understanding the Fundamentals of the AI Enterprise is an executive-level program designed for leaders responsible for AI strategy, governance, operating model design, organizational transformation, and scaling AI across the enterprise. Structured around three workshops—AI State of the Art, AI Enterprise Architecture, and AI Transformation—the program develops the leadership capabilities required to: • align AI initiatives with strategic priorities; • lead cross-functional transformation; • establish effective AI governance; • manage AI-related risks; • move from fragmented pilots to enterprise-wide adoption; • and create measurable business value. The approach is practical, concrete, participative, and collaborative, and is built around scenarios inspired by the highly instructive experience of Starbucks’ AI transformation. In a distinctive hands-on format, participants work with AI transformation frameworks, management-level decision-making exercises, practical methodologies, and tools designed to govern, deploy, and measure the value created by AI. By the end of the program, participants are equipped to define an enterprise AI strategy, establish appropriate governance, lead cross-functional transformation, redesign the organization for AI at scale, and translate AI initiatives into sustainable business outcomes.
