Day 2 Plenary II:
AI as lever, Not lens — Executive Education for sustainable enterprise transformation
Examines how AI-enhanced executive education can drive meaningful, measurable impact on corporate sustainability strategies and leadership practices — not by making sustainability “about AI,” but by using intelligent systems to accelerate decision-making, resource allocation, and stakeholder accountability at enterprise scale.

Panel Discussion:
Lost in translation: the AI literacy conversation employers, students and schools need to have
Employers need AI-literate leaders who can deploy, govern, and scale intelligent systems. Students want AI skills that feel cutting-edge and career-proof. Both question whether traditional B-schools can deliver. This session focuses on the operational reality of the AI literacy gap: where implementation fails, what skills are genuinely scarce.
