Turn learning into real boardroom experience. After each module, participants can step into an interactive, AI-driven boardroom simulation powered by ChatGPT. These simulations recreate realistic governance scenarios, allowing you to apply what you’ve just learned, test your decision-making, and explore different board dynamics in a safe and engaging way.

It’s a unique, hands-on experience that bridges theory and practice — helping you build real confidence in guiding AI responsibly.

Based on published research

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. 

“…The AI Program for Boards provided a great opportunity to interact with accomplished board directors from the Nordic community and beyond. The cross-pollination of strategic thinking, contextual case studies, and reflective dialogue transformed the experience into something genuinely grounded in the realities directors face.”
