About Programme

Drive Transformational Impact Through Actionable AI Leadership.

AI for Strategic Transformation equips executives with the clarity and discipline to lead AI-driven change across their organizations.

As artificial intelligence accelerates faster than most companies can adapt, leaders must bridge the gap between technological potential and meaningful, responsible impact. Grounded in Booth’s evidence-based approach, you’ll learn how to evaluate opportunities, manage risk, and guide strategic implementation with confidence. Over ten weeks—through a blend of live online and self-paced online sessions—you’ll learn from Chicago Booth faculty and apply proven frameworks directly to your organizational context. Drawing on insights from Booth’s Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence, practical industry experience, and Booth’s Innovation MBA coursework, you’ll develop the tools to lead AI adoption with clarity and measurable impact.

This program is in partnership Chicago Booth Executive Education and Great Learning.
