The “Leading AI & Data Teams” program shapes modern AI and analytics leaders. AI leadership is the linking pin between data analytics and business management in driving AI change, demanding both the ability to create change and to steer AI teams. Therefore, topics like personal leadership, machine learning, data technology and roadmap design are all addressed. The program allows participants to establish their personal learning goals on three dimensions:
- Personal vision and roadmap on data & AI
- Strong integration skills
- Leading data and AI driven change
The program facilitates reaching these goals by mixing theoretical concepts, in group discussions and group as well as individual exercises & case work. The current knowledge and expertise of the participants forms valuable input to shape progress and next steps of the group.

2. Set your personal compass
You and your leadership are the primary focus of these two days. We deep-dive into your leadership style, authenticity, growth areas and team impact. A 360-view on your personal strengths and development opportunities is used as input.
3. Design the path to game changing AI
Create a vision on how AI and analytics will change your organization, focused on your relevant business area(’s). The first day you will work on the AI strategy for part of your business and translate it to a multi-year roadmap. The second day is about building trust-based relationships to increase your circle of influence and inspiring others on your vision.
4. Guide teams towards impactful AI solutions
Making AI projects successful is hard. As a leader you need to be able to steer your team both on content and process during the lifecycle of an AI solution. The first day is about steering your team on algorithm development: steer and challenge the analytical process to build impactful and reliable models. The second day is about another crucial success factor: implementing algorithms in end-to-end systems. You will learn how to drive and enable your team to work towards end-to-end systems rather than proof of concepts only.
5. Create AI driven change
Change is difficult, but essential to unlock the potential of the AI solutions your develop. Excellent stakeholder management and strong change management over the lifecycle of AI development and implementation is paramount. The first day of this block you will learn to influence stakeholders. The second day is about involving the right people and making the right choices during AI projects to improve adoption of AI.
