CONSORTIUM PROGRAMME 2026 - 2027

Leading AI Adoption

A consortium programme ffor non-competing cross-functional teams created with Aalto University Executive Education and Professional Development

HELSINKI · STOCKHOLM · AUTUMN 2026 · SPRING 2027

Your company has rolled out AI.
So why has so little changed in how people lead, decide and work?

 

Licences are live. Pilots have run. Agents are being built.

MIT found that 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots produced no measurable
impact on the P&L. The technology mostly worked. What did not change was behaviour. 

That gap is a leadership challenge, not a technology problem.

What it is

 

Leading AI Adoption brings together four to six non-competing teams, for four (face-to-face) days across two modules.

It is not an AI upskilling course. Participants don't leave writing better prompts. They leave leading differently.

a genuine AI advantage.

Action- based leadership development that turns insight into behaviour.

The consortium

Peer learning between

non-competing organisations tackling the same challenge from different industries.

What changes

Agency

Leaders decide how AI expands their role and their team, rather than being swept along by it.

Clarity

Knowing when to trust AI output, and when human judgement has to lead.

Confidence

Restored trust in their own expertise and critical
thinking.

Ways of working

AI operationalised into daily work, improving the speed and quality of decisions.

Capability

Lasting transformation capability, and sunk AI spend turned into value.

People

Looking after the teams now working alongside AI
agents.

Who is it for

Cross-functional teams of four to six mid-to-senior leaders who own outcomes and manage people. For example (but not limited to): function and business-unit heads across operations, marketing, sales, service, HR and finance, plus a transformation lead and one or two rising talents.

AI-curious, not AI-expert. Not built for data scientists, and not a prompt-engineering bootcamp.

Four to six

Typically four to five non-competing organisations, four to six teams in total. Minimum two organisations, and an organisation may send more than one team.

A seat for every participating organisation, shaping content and cases

From €24,500 per team. Covers training and all learning materials; conference packages charged separately per person.

Why a Consortium

Four to five non-competing multinationals, facing the same problem from different angles.

The fastest way to find out what you are getting wrong is to hear how a company in another industry got it right. Non-competing by design means there is no commercial risk in being honest, which is what makes those conversations useful rather than polite.

Teams leave with an outside-in view of their own assumptions, cross-industry benchmarking they cannot get from a supplier, and a peer network that tends to outlast the programme itself. Each organisation also takes a steering-group seat, shaping the content and cases around challenges it actually recognises.

The Partnership

Academic rigour and behaviour change are usually bought separately. This programme exists because neither one works alone.

Aalto University Executive Education

 

World-class multidisciplinary faculty and triple-crown accreditation, held by roughly the top 1% of business schools worldwide, with a consistent Financial Times ranking among the world's leading executive education providers.

 

Its faculty research how organisations build an AI advantage that competitors cannot simply buy, since everyone has access to the same models.

The part where behaviour actually changes: leaders practise on their own organisation's real, recognised challenges, rather than discussing someone else's case study.
