Master in AI Leadership & Digital Transformation

You start with the big picture: why digital transformation is as important for business today as the industrial revolution was in its time, the different kinds of transformation, and how to analyse an industry, a company and its customers to find where it can be transformed. You study real transformation cases from many industries and propose transformation plans of your own and at the same time you learn to lead. Leadership and management, your own leadership style, purpose and vision, building and leading teams across cultures, and change management: how people react to change, why they resist, and how to keep them with you. You learn the technologies changing business, from AI to blockchain and quantum computing, and the cybersecurity every leader must understand. You learn digital marketing well enough to brief an agency and judge its results. And you learn to find an opportunity and build a business around it, as a founder or inside a large company. By the end of the first semester you can look at a company, see where it must change, and explain it to the people who have to do it. Running the transformation, with data, AI, money and people, is the work of the second semester.

In this semester you learn the tools of the job. • Data: how to use it to make business decisions and to set up and govern a data project. • AI: how it works, how to use AI tools and agents, how to write an AI strategy for a company and lead AI projects responsibly. • Finance: how to read a company’s accounts, forecast the cost of a transformation and value a project, so your plan is one a CFO will approve. You manage the work the agile way, delivering value step by step rather than in one big release. You lead the IT side without being an engineer: teams, roles, vendors, roadmap and technical debt. Because transformation is above all a people transformation, you also work on how to attract, develop and keep digital talent, and on the employee experience that makes change last. The law that applies, from data protection and e-commerce to tax and labour rules, completes the picture.

From the spring you work on your Final Project, usually a complete Digital Transformation Plan for a real company: where it is today, where it should go, and how to get there, from strategy and AI to people and financials, presented to a committee at the end of the year. This is not a final project. It is your first transformation.

A defended Final Project, a complete Digital Transformation Plan for a real company, an AI strategy, a financial plan and a business case you have pitched.
