AI Strategy for Executives
In partnership with the Creative Destruction Lab
OpenAI and ChatGPT have transformed the world we live in with demonstrated capabilities most people couldn’t have predicted even three years ago. Artificial intelligence can now read, write, and reason, creating the opportunity for flourishing new business opportunities across all sectors.
The question for executives is no longer if or when they will leverage AI, but how.
That's why Rotman and the Creative Destruction Lab have partnered to create AI Strategy for Executives: a 1.5 day hands-on workshop designed for senior leadership team members and their direct reports who need to understand how to design business strategies that utilize AI in order to create value for customers and shareholders. With AI Strategy for Executives, you'll learn how to understand the rapidly changing impact of AI on your industry.
Artificial intelligence is already used in banking, finance, pharmaceuticals, automotive design, medical technology and retail, but we are still in the early days. This technology has the potential to become cheaper, faster, and better at helping leaders like you drive strategic business decisions, provide services, and accelerate growth.
Schedule
Day 1:
- The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence
- Dinner with the authors of Prediction Machines: The Simple Economics of Artificial Intelligence and Power and Prediction: The Disruptive Economics of Artificial Intelligence, Ajay Agrawal, Joshua Gans, and Avi Goldfarb
Day 2:

- Overcoming Frictions in Implementing Your AI Strategy
Schedule subject to change.
As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated with our daily lives, the old ways of doing things will be thrown out the window. By learning to predict disruptions and build strategies that interface with this new technology, you can limit the negative impacts on your bottom line while building competitive advantage.
