The Academy for AI Strategy presents
Executive AI Summer Series
Why this exists
You're not behind. You've been busy running things that actually matter.
Every week another headline. Another framework. Another vendor. Another twenty-something on LinkedIn telling you what you should already know.
Meanwhile your team is waiting for a signal. Your board is asking pointed questions. And you're the one who has to translate all of it into decisions the business can live with.
This series is the room where senior leaders finally get to slow down, ask the questions they can't ask anywhere else, and leave with a plan.
What you'll walk away with
Five things in your pocket by August 19.
Fluency, not buzzwords
Understand what AI is, what it isn't, and how to talk about it without pretending.
Language to lead
Vocabulary and framing your team, your board, and your customers will actually understand.
A decision framework
A repeatable way to make adoption, governance, and safety calls — instead of guessing.
A room of peers
A network of senior leaders wrestling with the same questions, in the same season.
Confidence to move
Clarity on the next 90 days — what to green-light, what to pause, what to test.
Safe Space
No jargon. No judgment. Ask the questions you can't ask in your board room.
Get Caught Up
Clear, practical AI fundamentals — the way an executive needs to hear them.
Lead Strategically
Turn insight into decisions your team can actually act on this quarter.
Peer to Peer
Real conversations with real leaders navigating the same terrain.
The series
Five Wednesdays. Five conversations. One playbook.
Every session runs at noon Eastern. Come live for the discussion — can't make a session? Session replays are included in the Executive AI Library.

Intentionally capped for real conversations.
