About Programme
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, leaders and enterprises must continuously innovate to remain competitive in an AI-native world. Generative AI, Agentic AI, and emerging protocol ecosystems are reshaping how organizations build products, automate operations, and create new business value. To fully capitalize on these advances, organizations must stay aligned with breakthroughs in AI-native engineering, local and multimodal models, multi-agent systems, and human-AI operating models. A defining trend in this new era is the rise of Context Engineering and Harness Engineering, which enable AI systems to operate with deeper awareness, reliability, and enterprise-scale orchestration. Alongside this, technologies such as MCP, A2A, and long-running deep agents are enabling more autonomous and collaborative AI ecosystems. This short-duration programme is designed to equip leaders with practical knowledge and hands-on exposure to Generative AI and Agentic AI in real-world business environments. Participants will explore how AI-native systems, governance frameworks, and multi-agent architectures can transform customer experiences, workflows, and decision-making. By the end of the programme, attendees will be prepared to lead innovation and drive responsible AI-powered transformation across their organizations.
