Executive Training Program in AI-Powered Strategic Leadership (Online / Remote)
1Summary
A five-year strategic plan can be overtaken by a single disruptive technology within months — and increasingly, that technology is artificial intelligence itself. Executives who keep strategy and AI in separate conversations are already behind; the ones pulling ahead treat AI as a core input into how vision, planning, and execution get built, not an add-on bolted onto an existing plan.
This Arab British Fellowship Training Academy programme is built around that shift. It walks senior leaders through reshaping organisational strategy with data-driven methods, turning AI tools from a support function into a core component of planning, execution, and evaluation, while strengthening the working relationship between top leadership and digital transformation teams.
