About Programme

Integrate machine learning into pricing workflows while keeping human judgment at the center of the process.

Pricing is one of the most consequential decisions an organization makes. Yet many companies begin exploring dynamic or personalized pricing before they have established the data foundation required to understand demand reliably.Leveraging AI for Competitive Pricing Advantage is a new Executive Education program at the Yale School of Management focused on the role of AI in pricing strategy. Participants examine where AI can strengthen pricing decisions, what must be in place before it can be used effectively, and how leaders can evaluate its recommendations with appropriate judgment.The program combines approximately six hours of instruction with three weeks of applied work in a shared cohort experience. Each module introduces a pricing problem and a series of cases and activities. Participants have time to complete the work, consider how it applies within their organization, and bring their analysis into the next module.The modules are designed for managers and leaders who set, negotiate, approve, or influence price.

Programme Content

Module 1: Reading the Competitive Landscape Examine three established approaches to pricing: cost-plus, competition-based, and value-based pricing. Participants identify their organization’s current approach, compare it with named competitors, and consider how the role of AI differs across pricing strategies. Participants begin their Pricing Strategy Portfolio by mapping their organization’s competitive position and identifying a pricing question that warrants further examination.
Module 2: Applying AI Across the Pricing Process Explore the role of AI across the pricing process, beginning with the data used to understand demand. Participants consider applications including demand estimation, market research, dynamic pricing, algorithmic pricing, and personalized pricing. The module examines the organizational and data conditions that must be established before more advanced applications can be used effectively. Participants complete an AI Pricing Readiness Snapshot to identify where their organization may be prepared to act and where further work is needed.
Module 3: Managing Risk and Readiness Examine the risks that may arise when AI is introduced into pricing, including implications for customers, markets, regulation, organizational decision-making, and operational execution. Through a cross-functional case, participants consider how different stakeholders may interpret the same pricing decision. They conclude the program by developing an AI Pricing Risk Checklist, a risk action plan, and a governance step their organization could take within 90 days.
