About Programme

From generative and agentic artificial intelligence (AI) to data analytics, digital technologies are changing lives, work, and organizations. The opportunities presented by these new technologies demand a new level of strategic engagement from leaders at all levels, a new organizational culture, a new level of collaboration with partners, and a new leadership model.

Leading in the Digital Era, offered in cooperation with the HBS Leadership Initiative , enables you to drive the changes essential to growth in today's business landscape. Rather than deferring to technical experts, you will be prepared to take the lead in driving digital transformation and overcoming organizational obstacles. You'll become a more effective leader through a deep dive into your own leadership mindset and an exploration of the many ways you can impact the adoption of emerging technologies across your organization.

Programme Audience

Senior executives and executive team members with significant leadership responsibilities (including but not limited to division heads, functional heads, or executives with P&L responsibility)

Executives in medium to large organizations in any country or industry, including organizations with digitally driven business models as well as those with more traditional business models

Particularly appropriate for: Executives responsible for implementing the company's strategy or digital transformation, as well as those considering or currently running innovation labs, incubators, and corporate accelerators

Not appropriate for: Consultants or executives in professional service firms, unless they are currently leading a digital transformation for a client organization

For executives looking to deepen their capabilities across both leadership and strategy in a digital and AI-driven environment, taking Leading in the Digital Era alongside Driving Digital and AI Strategy may be appropriate.
