Digital transformation doesn't fail because of technology. It stalls because of vague ownership, fragmented experimentation, and competing priorities. Senior leaders face a different challenge than frontline users. The question is no longer “How do I use AI?” It is “Where should we invest? What matters strategically? How do we move coherently instead of reactively?”

Leading Strategic AI Change helps you deepen your leadership judgment, so you can read the system, evaluate readiness, and make informed decisions about when and how to advance change. The goal is not to master every new tool, but to strengthen your capacity to lead others through uncertainty, connect AI-related shifts to broader priorities, and shape coherent pathways forward.

You will leave better equipped to interpret the landscape, build alignment with key stakeholders, and lead AI-relevant transformation that supports your mandate and teams.

Who Should Attend

This program is designed for Associate Directors and above who influence strategy, resource allocation, and cross-functional priorities.

It is especially relevant for leaders who:

• Oversee teams navigating AI experimentation or uncertainty
• Shape operational systems, learner experience, or faculty support
• Influence policy, governance, or institutional priorities
• Want to move from reactive tool adoption to strategic direction

Participants should have a working familiarity with AI concepts. The focus is on leadership application, not basic tool training.

What You’ll Learn

By the end of the program, you will be better prepared to:

1. Assess your unit’s readiness for AI-related change across processes, roles, and culture.
2. Identify strategic opportunities where AI can advance priority goals.
3. Make informed choices about sequencing, investment, and risk when navigating digital transformation.
4. Build alignment with stakeholders by connecting AI-related change to broader institutional priorities.
5. Lead conversations about AI with confidence and clarity, grounded in a values-aligned narrative.
6. Support teams through ambiguity and change by leveraging leadership frameworks and judgment.

Along with your peers in leadership, you will work through structured frameworks and leadership scenarios that reflect the complexity of institutional change.
