Meet the INSEAD PhD in the US and HK

Leadership is often defined by results, but the most effective leaders know that lasting impact begins with self-awareness. Join Graham Ward and Victoria Bouix for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving nature of leadership and the capabilities leaders need to thrive in today's environment. They will share insights into some of the questions at the heart of The Challenge of Leadership programme: How do leaders uncover their blind spots? Why do organisational dynamics often derail change? What makes authority difficult to exercise? And how can greater self-awareness lead to more effective leadership? Through this interactive session, participants will gain a glimpse into the distinctive learning experience of Challenge of Leadership: a reflective, group-based journey that helps leaders make sense of complex organisational realities, strengthen their leadership practice and develop new perspectives on their professional and personal challenges. The session will also offer an opportunity to meet the programme team, ask questions and explore whether the Challenge of Leadership is the right next step in your leadership journey.

Artificial intelligence is changing more than how individual tasks are performed. It is reshaping how organisations coordinate work, make decisions, share knowledge and create value. As organisations move beyond early experimentation, leaders face a new challenge: understanding how AI changes the design of workflows, teams and operating models, and what lessons can be learned from the first wave of adoption. Join Phanish Puranam and Markus Reitzig for a discussion of what recent experiences with AI adoption reveal about organising in the age of AI. Drawing on cutting-edge research and emerging examples from leading organisations, they will explore why some AI initiatives scale while others struggle, how AI is changing coordination and decision-making, and what this means for leaders responsible for organisational performance and transformation. Participants will gain practical insights into the next frontier of AI adoption: redesigning organisations so that human and machine intelligence work together effectively. The session will offer fresh perspectives on organisation design, human-AI collaboration and the leadership choices required to build adaptable, high-performing organisations in an increasingly AI-enabled world.
