How can leadership succeed when AI is at the table? A diffferent seminar programme

Artificial intelligence is not only transforming tools, processes and productivity. It is also fundamentally changing workflows, job descriptions and leadership dynamics.

This is because today’s leaders must be able to lead people who, in turn, use, evaluate, manage and integrate AI into their work. Employees thus become ‘AI leaders’ in their own right: they decide when to use AI, how to review results, what responsibilities to take on and where human judgement remains indispensable.

This creates a new dynamic for leadership: it is no longer just about assigning tasks, monitoring results, setting targets or facilitating learning pathways. Rather, it is increasingly about providing guidance, managing uncertainty, ensuring quality and creating spaces in which human-AI collaboration can succeed responsibly and effectively.

Our ‘AI & Leadership’ seminar addresses precisely this: it is not about tool training or AI hype – but about how leadership changes when AI becomes part of the organisation.

We combine expert insights, systemic reflection, practical leadership issues and peer-to-peer discussion. Participants work on specific situations from their day-to-day leadership roles and develop initial principles for dealing with AI within their own areas of responsibility.

The seminar, which comprises three modules (available as an in-person or remote format), addresses topics such as:

• How does leadership change when AI becomes an integral part of work processes?

• How can leaders continue to ensure quality when results are produced through human-AI co-creation?

• How much control is necessary – and where is trust and acceptance of uncertainty required?

• How do teams deal with scepticism, the pace of change, feeling overwhelmed or euphoria regarding AI? And how should I, as a manager, respond?

• Which leadership skills will become more important as AI increasingly prepares, accelerates or takes over tasks?

Our aim: to help managers gain greater agency in dealing with AI — even in areas where not everything has yet been clarified. The seminar provides a space for guidance, reflection and practical application — without offering ready-made solutions, but with scope for exploring the relevant questions, using real-world case studies and identifying manageable next steps for day-to-day management.

After the seminar, participants will have:

• A deeper understanding of how AI is transforming leadership – not only technologically, but also organisationally, culturally and in terms of interpersonal dynamics.

• Greater clarity about their own leadership role in the ‘AI Age’ – what remains a leadership task? What is becoming less important, and what new elements are emerging?

• Insights into dealing with uncertainties and leadership dilemmas – e.g. relating to responsibility, trust and decision-making ability.

• Specific reflection and guiding questions for day-to-day leadership – for example, on evaluating AI-generated results, on teamwork, or on creating meaningful frameworks.

• Initial leadership principles for human-AI collaboration – by developing your own guiding principles that suit your personality, your team and the context of your organisation.

“AI & Leadership” is a concise, interactive seminar for leaders who not only understand AI at a technological and process level, but who are also willing to reflect on and further develop their own leadership roles, and to work together to find new solutions for a changing world of work.

Decision-makers who view AI as part of organisational development and cultural change, as well as those responsible for HR, People & Culture and transformation who wish to empower managers in their use of AI, are also very welcome.

Are you a manager, or would you like to support managers not only in applying AI, but also in consciously reshaping the associated leadership challenges?
