Most AI conversations focus on technology. This one focuses on the harder problem: the people leading it.

In this fast-paced webinar, researchers and practitioners each take 5–7 minutes to deliver one sharp, evidence-grounded argument about what leading AI transformation actually requires of leaders — followed by open reaction and Q&A. The result is clarity over consensus: distinct takes that challenge what most organizations think they know about the role of leadership in AI transformation.

You’ll leave with 3 unique, actionable arguments you can take back into your organization — not a single, averaged-out perspective that loses its edge in translation.

What You’ll Learn

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

Spot where AI initiatives stall because of leadership — not technology — and the tensions it creates for leaders
Rethink what your leaders need to do differently in leading AI transformation and protecting the value of your AI investments
Apply 3 distinct, research-based perspectives to the AI decisions your organization is facing right now
