Strategic, Customized & Experiential AI Leadership Training For Executives
Many organisations are investing heavily in AI, yet are struggling to deliver a meaningful ROI and concrete results. Many AI use cases create major organizational issues, such as wasted investments, AI slop, employee disengagement, reduced trust, and customer frustration.
Our AI-focused leadership development programs and training courses are designed to empower leaders to use the unique capabilities of AI for both short and long-term value creation.
Starting with technological insights into AI models, strengths, and foibles, we build on firm foundations to explore both additive and transformative AI-driven opportunities, how to mitigate the many issues and risks of AI, experiment with AI in individual and team workflows and customer-centric disruptive innovations, and accelerate the development of leadership capabilities that AI cannot replicate.

Key Benefits Of Our AI-Forward Leadership Training Programs & Courses
Empower leaders to think strategically about how best to leverage AI in existing operating models, business models, and people models—and how these may need to be reinvented around the unique capabilities and weaknesses of predictive, generative, and agentic AI.
Our customized and experiential AI leadership training programs are designed to meet the many AI challenges head-on with a bespoke blend of a transformative and experiential leadership journey, peer-to-peer leadership coaching, transformative leadership circles, nervous system practices, real-world use-case experiments, AI-powered innovation fieldwork, and AI simulations and stimulations.
Unlock AI Competence & Confidence In Execs Across Predictive, Generative & Agentic AI Technologies
We support leaders in understanding key concepts in AI tech: Transformer architecture, generative vs. predictive vs. agentic AI, datasets and automation, prompt engineering, adversarial approaches, hallucinations and errors, alignment issues, guardrails, workslop, biases, etc. The aim is to ensure execs feel confident enough to get the best out of experts and technologists who work with and for them and steer the organization towards an ambitious vision for AI.
Coach Leaders To Develop Their Personal LEADERSHIP-AI Synthesis For Effective Collaboration With AI
We coach executives to move beyond seeing AI as a tool to treating it as a creative and strategic partner in achieving business growth and organizational impact, supporting them to collaborate and co-create with different kinds of AIs to drive effective, efficient, and accurate outcomes while avoiding workslop that corrodes cultures and trust and mitigating the many errors and failures of AI models.
Support Leaders To Experiment With Frontier Models & Problem-Specific AI Tools & Assess The Costs & Benefits Of Each
We guide leaders to discover valuable GenAI and Agentic AI offerings that can immediately improve workflows and help achieve business-unit and/or function goals—exploring the rapidly improving benefits of foundation/frontier models and assessing the value propositions of sector- and function-specific AI tools and services.
Guide Executives To Develop Thoughtful, Grounded & Strategic Plans For AI Deployments & Integrations
We help leaders think strategically, in a considered and thoughtful way, about the opportunities for AI-enabled impact, coaching them to exploit evidence-based value propositions as well as more ambitious, speculative opportunities for exponential growth and value creation.
Empower Leaders To Develop AI Action Plans For Both Added Value & Transformative Impact
We coach leaders to develop concrete next steps towards both additive improvements and transformative innovation, providing spaces for them to workshop and optimize their action plans—with their peers—for immediate efficiencies, mid-term digital transformation, and longer-term AI-enabled breakthrough innovation.
Stimulate Thoughtful & Valuable AI Debate Beyond The Hype About Responsible Investment, Ethical AI, Safety Protocols & Guardrails
Ensure leaders discuss and debate the hazards that AIs could unleash in teams, organizations, and society if leveraged by underinformed, unethical, or careless leaders—and help them come to their own ethical stance.
Enhance Emotional, Creative & Relational Skills In Leaders To Counter The Negative Impacts of AI & Automation
Help leaders enhance the skills that machines cannot replicate and that will sustain career success and healthy organizational cultures in the Future of Work, such as care, creativity, collaboration, empathy, inspiration, storytelling, influence, and vision.
Motivate Leaders To Explore AI-Powered Breakthrough Innovations That Could Win The Future Of Your Industry
Provide leaders with safe, structured, creative, and brave spaces where they can, together, define innovation-ready, customer-centric problem statements that AI could help solve, and ideate breakthrough ideas that could unlock transformative change, business and operating model innovations, and outsized, even exponential, growth.
Inspire Execs To Explore The Future Of Regenerative Technologies & The Future Of Work
Engage leaders in shaping the future of work, business, and society in ways that will leave a positive legacy for their kids and grandchildren, leveraging world-changing technologies to restore, repair, and regenerate our world and deliver a win-win-win for their teams, their organization, and society as a whole.

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.
