Sharpen your strategic judgment when technologies and markets are in flux
Most strategic initiatives fail, even when they are well funded, well staffed and built on promising ideas. The problem is rarely a lack of innovation or ambition. More often, organisations fail to recognise when conditions are right, when they are not, and when the window for action is already closing.
Leading Growth through Innovation and Technology helps leaders make better strategic decisions in contexts shaped by technological innovation, including the accelerating diffusion of AI across industries. Rather than focusing on the technical implementation of new tools, the programme examines how leaders can evaluate innovation-driven opportunities, assess readiness across markets and organisations, and decide when to commit, adapt, or walk away. Drawing on real-world cases, many of them involving AI and data-intensive technologies, participants learn how growth is shaped by timing, organisational alignment, and the ability to act before opportunities expire.

• Original short cases: purpose-built cases that put you in the situation as it unfolds
• Protagonists join sessions: go beyond case discussion by engaging the people who lived the trade-offs
• AI + history: combine AI-focused cases and examples with lessons from past technology waves to identify timeless patterns
• Hands-on learning: role-play and applied exercises that build practical judgement
