Course overview

Equip Yourself with New Cognitive Skills for the AI-Generation Workforce now

A 6-week applied learning cohort to elevate your cognitive altitude with the Eight Meta-Cognitive Skills of Leadership™


WHY THIS PROGRAM AND WHY NOW?


AI is no longer just automating tasks. It is beginning to disrupt management itself. Reports, plans, analyses, and even decisions are increasingly generated by intelligent systems.


Managers who rely only on traditional skills risk being outpaced by algorithms that think faster, cheaper, and more accurately.


While AI can provide intelligent answers, it cannot yet replace the higher-order and bigger picture thinking that defines great leadership: the ability to reason from first principles, synthesize across disciplines, navigate ethical dilemmas, decide future direction, and innovate with customer obsession.


Yes, people, emotional and influence skills will only grow in importance. But these have long been emphasized and developed before the AI age. 


What has truly shifted — and is being disrupted right now — are our cognitive capabilities.


As AI advances and assumes the baseline thinking, leaders must raise their game with higher-order cognition or risk drowning below the rising AI waterline.


With the rapid advancement of AI at the workplace, the need for managers to upskill cognitively and strategically has never been more serious and urgent.



WHO IS THIS FOR?


This program is for leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers who want to stay ahead of the accelerating disruption caused by AI.


If you’re concerned that automation may replace, reduce, or reshape your role, then this is for you.


You’ll gain the meta-skills and strategic frameworks to transcend the threat posed by AI and transform this challenge into your next advantage.


WHAT IS THIS PROGRAM ABOUT?


The AI-Generation Manager Program is a deep-impact, cohort-based journey for managers who want to raise their game and future-proof their careers in the age of AI.


This Program aims to elevate leaders to the 30k feet level, rising above automation, disruption, and complexity.


Through this unique program, you will be equipped with The Eight Meta-Cognitive Skills of Leadership for the AI Age:


★ First Principles Analysis

Strip a problem down to its basic truths, questioning every assumption, and then building solutions upward from those core foundations.


★ Moral-Ethical Reasoning

Navigate complex dilemmas with clarity of values, balance what is right with what is effective, and ensure decisions advance corporate interests while honoring societal and long-term responsibility.


★ Jobs-to-be-Done Mindset

Comprehend the true progress customers seek and innovate products and processes that help them make progress.


★ Systems Thinking

Develop a higher-level, systems view of a problem, business model, company, or ecosystem in order to solve, optimize, or orchestrate change.


★ Future-Back Orientation

Start from a vision of the future and reason backward to identify the steps, innovations, and transformations required to reach it from today.


★ Trans-Disciplinary Synthesis

Generate fresh perspectives, non-obvious insights and unique ideas at the intersection of and crossover between fields, disciplines and industries.


★ Multi-Civilizational Perspective

Integrate wisdom, values, and methods from multiple civilizations and cultures to transcend narrow worldviews and craft more holistic strategies.


★ Geo-Techno-Economic Fluency

Appreciate the interwoven dynamics of geopolitics, technology, and economics, and apply that integrated lens to anticipate disruptions, shape strategy, and seize opportunities.


The AI-Generation Manager Program arms you with these future-ready capabilities, so you do not just keep up with AI, you stay on top of it.


It is tailored for practical, everyday leaders who shoulder the responsibility of turning strategy into reality, guiding teams through change, and driving results under uncertainty.


The program blends futurist insights, guided instruction, interactive learning, case-based exercises, and a capstone project, ensuring that you not only learn new frameworks but also apply them immediately and effectively.


Join an international community of like-minded leaders future-proofing their careers and learning to thrive in the AI Age.
