AI in Strategy

A four-day intensive program for boards and C-level executives leading AI transformation.

Most organizations plan AI the same way they planned digitization: projects, pilots, and the hope that scale will follow. It will not. This program changes how boards and C-level executives think about AI — from managing technology to managing a system of value, risk, and decision. Built on the book "Teach that Pathfinder" (Piotr Wiśniewski, Amazon) and grounded in transformation practice across CEE and global organizations. This is not a generative AI tools course. It is a course in strategic thinking for an era in which AI has become a management variable.

Topics

—Where AI builds advantage — and where it only improves productivity
—AI portfolio framework: commodity, capability, moat
—Strategic decisions: buy, build, wait, close
—Operating model for scale — beyond the pilot
+4 more

Program structure

Day 1 — Strategy and Portfolio

Where AI creates value versus where it is a cost of participation. Commodity/capability/moat framework. Initiative portfolio map: selection, sequence, funding.

Day 2 — Operating Model

AI decision architecture in the organization. Pilot vs. production vs. scale. Function, role, and governance rhythm design. Case studies from financial, manufacturing, and services sectors.

Day 3 — Governance and Regulation

AI governance as the organization's operating system. EU AI Act — practical board implications. Accountability, audit, documentation. Vendor due diligence and model risk management.

Day 4 — Leadership and Action Plan

AI communication strategy for organizations. Resistance management and change absorption. Building an AI-literate leadership team. Each participant develops a 90-day action plan for their organization.

AI Deployment in Organizations

An intensive one-day workshop for managers turning AI pilots into working production systems.

Three out of four AI pilots end with a good presentation and no follow-through. Not because the technology failed — because the organization was not ready to absorb it into work. This workshop teaches how to assess readiness, select the right use case, and take a project from idea to a working process. Participants leave with a concrete deployment plan — not inspiration slides. Led by practitioners, grounded in patterns from dozens of enterprise deployments across Poland and the region.

Topics

—Use case selection: automate / augment / wait / reject
—Data, process, and organizational readiness
—Pilot phase design and success criteria
—Production readiness gate conditions
+4 more

Program structure

Session 1 (Morning) — Diagnosis and Selection

Automate/augment/wait/reject framework. How to assess data and process readiness. Workshop: participants evaluate their own use case and make a selection decision.

Session 2 (Afternoon) — Design and Plan

Pilot design with success criteria. Production readiness checklist. Change management from day one. Participants leave with a ready plan for their specific case.

Digital Transformation

A two-day program for leaders building organizations ready for the AI era — strategy, posture, and culture.

Digital transformation keeps failing in the same place: the technology is there, the agenda is there, the budget is there — but the organization does not change its behaviors. This program, developed on the basis of the book "Digital Pathfinder" (Piotr Wiśniewski, Amazon), addresses three layers of that gap: strategy (what and why we change), leadership posture (how a leader drives change, not just announces it) and team roles (who owns transformation and what that means in practice). The ideal starting point for organizations entering deeper AI engagement.

Topics

—What digital transformation really is — and what destroys it from within
—Roadmap: sequence, pace, and priorities in the context of organizational readiness
—Leadership posture: the difference between a change leader and a change participant
—Organizational culture as an accelerator or brake of transformation
+4 more

Program structure

Day 1 — Strategy and Direction

Diagnosis: where the organization is and what is stopping it. Roadmap: from digitization to AI-readiness. Workshop: participants build a transformation map for their own organization.

Day 2 — Leadership and Culture

Leadership posture in transformation: how to lead, not just oversee. Culture, resistance, and change absorption. Team roles and accountability. 90-day action plan.

Technical🏫 Classroom🔀 Hybrid💻 Online👤 Live trainer🇵🇱🇬🇧

Technical AI Implementation in Organizational Processes

A two-day technical program for architects, engineers, and tech leads deploying AI in enterprise environments.

Deploying AI in an enterprise organization is not installing an API. It is designing a process that is secure, measurable, auditable, and maintainable — not just something that works in a demo. This program covers the entire AI deployment lifecycle: from designing an AI-ready process, through integrating models with enterprise systems, to monitoring, model change management, and compliance in production environments. Based on real case studies from financial services, manufacturing, and services sector deployments in Poland and the region.

Topics

—AI-native vs. AI-augmented enterprise system architecture
—Model integration with ERP, CRM, and legacy systems (API, middleware)
—Data pipelines for AI: quality, validation, drift monitoring
—Human-in-the-loop in production: design, thresholds, UX
+4 more

Program structure

Day 1 — Architecture and Integration

AI-ready system design. Enterprise system integration patterns. Data pipeline architecture for AI. Case study: LLM deployment in a customer service process (fintech).

Day 2 — Operations and Maintenance

LLMOps and ML model lifecycle management. Monitoring, observability, incident response. Release management and model change management. Security, compliance, GDPR in production.

Who it is for

Boards, supervisory bodies, CEOs and C-level teams, and the transformation, governance and risk leaders accountable for AI. Designed for decision-makers who must set direction and oversight — not for hands-on implementers.

Why it matters

Most AI programs train tools; few build the executive judgment to direct AI safely and at scale. Without a shared leadership language, AI stalls in pilots, governance lags adoption, and boards cannot hold management to account.

Program formats

Board program

A focused program for boards and supervisory bodies: AI accountability, the EU AI Act, oversight duties and the questions a board must be able to ask and answer.

Executive cohort

A cross-company cohort for C-level leaders and transformation owners — strategy, operating models, governance and measurement, taught through real decisions, not tool demos.

In-house corporate program

A program designed around your sector, operating model and AI portfolio, delivered to a single leadership team and aligned to a live transformation agenda.

What leadership teams gain

—A shared executive language for AI strategy, governance and scale across the leadership team.
—The ability to set, sponsor and challenge an AI agenda — not delegate it blindly.
—Working familiarity with the EU AI Act and board-level accountability for AI.
—A practical lens to separate signal from hype when evaluating AI investment.
