AI Strategy & Transformation Immersion
Executive leadership teams are under pressure to make informed, strategic decisions about AI—without the time to sift through the noise and hype. This two-day immersion gives your leaders a focused environment to build a shared understanding of AI and identify opportunities to apply it immediately within your business strategy.
Your team will work directly with Harvard Business School faculty in a program that pairs the rigor of HBS Executive Education with the latest research from the HBS AI Institute. Through case discussions, interactive lectures, and hands-on exercises, your leaders will develop a practical foundation for leading AI-driven transformation.
What your leaders take away
After two days on campus, your leaders will be able to:
Shape an AI strategy that creates a competitive advantage
Develop a clear point of view on how AI will transform your industry, business model, and operating model, and identify where your organization can lead.
Make smarter AI investment and partnership decisions
Create a practical framework for evaluating when to build, buy, partner, or acquire AI capabilities, helping you invest with confidence and avoid costly missteps.
Scale AI from experimentation to enterprise impact
Design an adoption roadmap that moves beyond pilots, aligning governance, talent, incentives, and change management to drive measurable business results.
Lead board-level conversations on AI risk and opportunity
Build the knowledge and governance lens needed to oversee AI responsibly, ask the right questions, and make informed decisions about where to invest next.
GHD, a global professional services firm, brought a cohort of its senior leaders to the immersion in June 2026.
Chief Executive Officer Jim Giannopoulos explains why they came to HBS as a team:
We wanted our leaders to build a shared understanding of [AI’s] implications together, rather than responding to them independently…What impressed me most is that the conversation wasn’t really about AI. Our learnings encompassed judgment, leadership, and organizational choices in an environment that is changing quickly.
