Adaptation and Influence in the Age of AI

In an era where AI can optimize processes and automate decisions, the true differentiator is human connections, our ability to influence, adapt, and drive meaningful change. This highly experiential seminar equips leaders to navigate and lead innovation in AI-driven environments. Participants will explore how ideas informally emerge, gain momentum, and scale within complex organizations, often through networks of trust and influence rather than formal hierarchies. We evaluate the need for adaptive space in generating value that drives growth by enabling an environment of idea generation, entrepreneurship and innovation while leveraging the benefits of existing, formal systems to scale these ideas. Participants will explore and engage in such topics as creative experimentation, idea emergence, organizational network analysis, social capital, design thinking, organizational analytics and complexity leadership. Non-Dynamics students: please include a brief job description in your permission request.
