Everything has changed — and that's exactly the starting point! I'm joining EDEM Business School as guest lecturer for their Master Degrees in Senior Management & Digital Transformation Leadership, working with a select group of directors, CEOs, and technology leads navigating the intersection of AI, business model innovation, and human decision-making. The session spans five dimensions: the macroeconomic paradox we're living in, the AI stack as a strategic lens, the evolution from AI tools to AI agents, the cognitive biases that shape leadership under complexity, and sector-specific case studies built around the participants in the room. Because digital transformation was never just about technology — it's about what leaders decide to do with it.
