Master the art of developing effective strategies amidst digital disruption
In the last decade, digital has become part of almost every debate and discussion around strategy and often, the central focus. The reason is simple.
Powerful and interconnected technologies today including the cloud and AI, mean any business going through a digital transformation journey will be handed lucrative opportunities, but will also have to face dramatic threats.
Strategy in the Age of AI and Digital Disruption is an online course that provides the strategic tools, concepts and perspectives that will allow you to develop a strategic response to the new digital possibilities and to then align your organisation for effective strategy execution. It will support you in becoming more proactive in the digital domain, help you turn digital threats into opportunities, and allow you to leverage digital to create competitive advantage and enhanced performance.
Leverage the power of AI to tailor your business strategy
Participants will have access to VSTRAT, a generative AI tool developed by Peter Zemsky and Michael Olenick at INSEAD, to help them with strategic ideation and decision-making processes. Among the many features, Virtustrat can assist participants by creating tailored Industry Value Chains and applying Blue Ocean Strategy principles to their business propositions.

The highlight for me was the focus on value capture and creation, which has helped to change the way I bring up my team when creating new offers and client solutions now I’m back at work.

I took away tools I can use a lot in my day-to-day work and in my frequent meetings with business leaders and senior management. So while the programme was strategic in nature, it was also providing tangible tools to help you execute a strategic plan. Another plus was that the timing meant I could fit the programme into my schedule over six to eight weeks. The Strategy in the Age of AI and Digital Disruption programme perfectly brings together strategy formulation and execution – something that is missing from most other curriculums of strategy courses.
