Turn AI investment into impact with our exceptional, experiential, and customized AI-focused leadership programs, courses, and executive trainings. Build AI-ready leadership skills for the digital era. Ensure your leaders can leverage the power of Artificial Intelligence in responsible and innovative ways that drive immediate ROI and long-term exponential value creation for the enterprise.
Thoughtful, Customized & Experiential AI-Forward Leadership Programs
Many organisations are investing heavily in AI, yet are struggling to deliver a meaningful ROI and concrete results. In fact, a lot of AI usage cases create issues like AI slop, that cost time and trust, rather than creating either additive or transformative value.
Our AI-Focused Leadership Development programs and training courses are designed to empower your leaders to use the unique capabilities of AI for short and long term value creation; understand the differences between additive and transformative AI-driven change, innovation, and digital transformation; mitigate the many issues and risks with AI; and accelerate the development of leadership capabilities that AI cannot replicate.
We call this the LEADERSHIP-AI Synthesis, and we use it to elevate leaders to move beyond seeing AI as a tool to treating it as a creative and strategic partner in achieving business growth and organizational impact.
Our customized and experiential AI-forward leadership training programs and journeys are designed to meet the challenges head-on with a bespoke blend of transformative journeys, peer-to-peer coaching, small group work, embodied practices, real-world usage cases, AI-powered innovation fieldwork, and AI simulations and stimulations.

Lead Facilitator On Our AI-Focused Leadership Development Programs
I do not believe that anything like human consciousness—at the zenith of development and complexity in transformational leaders—will ever “boot-up” upon non-organic circuitry, no matter how complex, GPT-like, and Google-ified it is. We are organisms, not algorithms!
Nick Jankel is an influential and internationally-recognized thought leader on how leadership, technology, innovation, and purpose are transforming the future of business and society—in an increasingly complex, digital, and disrupted world.
Nick Jankel is a Cambridge-educated futurist, transformation expert, and internationally acclaimed transformational leadership expert speaker who has been at the intersection of artificial intelligence, exponential digital technologies, human leadership, and innovation for over 25 years.
A pioneer in AI-ready leadership, he empowers executives to harness intelligent technologies without losing the very qualities that make us human. Long before the recent AI boom, Nick was working at the leading edge of tech-driven innovation. He launched his first startup during the dot-com boom in 1998 and gave his first keynote in 1997 on how the World Wide Web would disrupt marketing and human behaviour.
By 2010, he had created an early AI-powered innovation experiment, with further iterations in 2017 and 2022. Today, he is leading the development of an LLM-based leadership platform delivering personalized, transformative leadership development journeys for Fortune 500 execs. Nick’s thinking on AI has taken him from the Aspen Ideas Festival to BBC Radio alongside AI philosopher Nick Bostrom.
Named a Top 10 US Speaker by MSN, he is trusted by organizations including Google, Pfizer, LEGO, Unilever, and No.10 Downing Street for his ability to fuse rigorous science with soul-stirring storytelling. His keynotes inspire leaders to balance the analytical precision of AI with the moral, creative, and emotional intelligence that define true leadership.
?Nick is both optimistic and discerning about AI’s potential. He celebrates its ability to transform productivity, creativity, and decision-making while challenging the notion that machines can replicate authentic empathy, compassion, or wisdom. With SOL’s neuroscience-led BTX® Method, he provides practical tools for navigating complexity, ensuring technology serves humanity rather than the reverse.
For those seeking a world-class AI and leadership training program, Nick Jankel delivers electrifying, evidence-based, and deeply human insights that help audiences move from fear to foresight, from automation to aliveness, and from information to inspiration.

Our Game-Changing Leadership
Curriculum, Interventions & Theory
Most leadership programs fail to deliver the results promised—because they are locked in an outdated training model that fails to deliver transformed leaders or concrete business impact.
With our origins in strategy and innovation consulting, training in behavioral and brain science, and years of experience, we have innovated a genuinely pioneering approach to maximize your leadership development investment by changing leaders as fast as humanly possible.
Coherent & Comprehensive
Self-To-System™ Leadership Curriculum
Over 25 years, we have researched, evolved, tested, and codified a coherent and cohesive "Self-to-System" leadership development curriculum that starts with how to change oneself and ends with how to transform systems. Our curriculum enables leaders to master the inner and outer games of leadership.
State-Of-The-Art Transformative Interventions
Alongside the curriculum, we developed a number of innovative interventions for unlocking and sustaining exceptional leadership. These range from peer-to-peer coaching that builds trust and traction to truly transformative experiences that can break persistent habits and unfold rapid change.
A Science-Backed Theory Of Change
Our curriculum and interventions have been built upon our own original theory of human development, Bio-Transformation. We developed this methodology to transform, as quickly as humanly possible, how leaders feel, think, act, interact, relate, innovate, and communicate by working with, not against, human biology and culture.
