Masterclass

Leading in the Age of AI:
What Changes, What Remains, & What Leaders Must Do Differently

What happens to leadership when AI can analyze faster, know more, generate options instantly — and increasingly make better recommendations than the people reporting to us? This working masterclass gives senior executives a rigorous, evidence-based answer in three acts. What changes: the four pillars of traditional authority — knowing more, having seen more, deciding, and being the point everything runs through — are dissolving, and the latest field evidence (including a landmark Harvard/P&G experiment showing one person with AI matching an expert team) shows how fast. What doesn't: accountability, trust, judgment, and meaning-making remain irreducibly human — and become the entire job. What leaders must do differently: the Five Shifts, a practical playbook culminating in a Decision Architecture every participant builds for their own organization — which decisions to automate, which to augment, which to keep human, and where to draw the red lines. Through real cases — Klarna's public reversal, Moderna's redesigned org chart, the tale of two AI-first memos — participants leave with a completed canvas, a personal commitment memo, and a sharper answer to the only question that matters: when machines supply the answers, what are leaders for?

60-Minute
to start building the future
with Javier Campos

Forget what you know about AI assistants. The most profound shift in technology isn't better chatbots—it's the rise of autonomous agents that think, learn, and act on your behalf. While your competitors are busy prompting, you can be building systems that execute.

Join Francisco Javier Campos Zabala, author of the new book "Autonomous Minds," for an exclusive 90-minute masterclass that goes straight to the source code of the agentic revolution. This isn't another high-level trend report. It's a "first principles" deep dive designed for leaders who need to understand how to build and leverage true artificial agency for a decisive competitive edge.

Through insights from "Autonomous Minds," you will dissect the cognitive architecture of AI agents, understand their decision-making models, and learn how to re-architect workflows, teams, and strategies around them. You'll leave with a powerful mental model to identify opportunities others can't see and the clarity to lead your organization through the next wave of AI.

This is your opportunity to move from AI user to AI architect. Don't just adapt to the future—start building it.

Reserve your spot for this session to join the vanguard of leaders who understand that true power lies not in using the tools, but in mastering the principles behind them.
