AIPTD's executive programs deepen senior leaders' understanding of the dynamics, developments, pitfalls, and best practices of AI decisions, equipping leaders with the information and skills they need to make consequential decisions as AI continues to impact business. Our programs bring together the latest in practice and research, and our faculty includes lecturers at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB), the Stanford School of Engineering, and Stanford's Technology Training Program.
Executives face a unique set of challenges: while individuals are focused on their own development or a team’s development, executives must shepherd whole organizations through these transformational times. Our executive programs are focused on the decisions executives face and are taught by faculty at the frontier of their fields.
Our executive programs are focused, multi-session workshops in strategy, governance, negotiation, and AI-era leadership, designed for senior individual leaders and small executive teams. Programs run as open-enrollment or private cohorts and can be delivered live online and in person. On-site corporate engagements are also available.
