Our curriculum is based on the “AI Leadership for Boards” academic research, now updated and soon to be published by Springer Nature. The original research was made in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology, Stockholm School of Economics, Digoshen, Next Agents, Combient and selected Wallenberg companies, and reviewed by MIT CISL and INSEAD. The updated research was developed with support from the Internetstiftelsen (Swedish Internet Foundation) in 2024 and 2025. Additionally, it aligns with the World Economic Forum Governance Principles and is enhanced with dedicated sections on Sustainability and AI.
At the online learning platform, you will find varied content, such as reports, articles, and tools. All content is very recent and built specifically for boards and continually updated.
All lessons in the learning platform have relevant videos, reports, articles and digital content such as infographics and AI simulation games. The program also includes live online sessions with presentations from experts, academic and seasoned NEDs.
Each participant will have the opportunity to build a reflection plan, leading to specific interventions to be implemented at the board level. In the final session, we will address and give feedback to all submitted action plans.
Each section at the learning platform is followed by a reflection guide and supported with an AI-powered chatbot. This is an exclusive AI Boardroom Simulator—a dynamic environment where board directors can test their skills and apply key concepts in real-world scenarios. This hands-on experience helps bridge the gap between theory and boardroom practice.
You’ll also engage in peer exchanges, both asynchronously on the learning platform and during live sessions. These are designed to foster learning with and from other non-executive directors, allowing you to share perspectives, in a trusted board-level community.
