Do I need a technical background or prior AI experience?

No. The course is built for non-technical senior leaders, so you don’t need to write code or have used AI tools before. If you already work with AI, you’ll still get perspective from other leaders in your cohort who come from different industries and functions.

How much time should I expect to commit each week?

Plan for less than 5 hours a week. Each week has on-demand sessions you watch on your own schedule, a short exercise, and one live workshop (5:00 to 6:30 AM PT or 10:00 to 11:30 AM PT, your choice).

What happens during the live workshops?

They’re hands-on. You work through practical exercises with other senior leaders and apply what you learned in that week’s on-demand sessions to your own organization. They’re workshops, not lectures.

What will I create for my capstone project?

You’ll work on a real challenge from your own organization. You leave with a practical first output, such as a working tool or a draft AI strategy, plus the skills to take on the next challenge yourself.

Can my organization enroll multiple participants?

Yes. Team enrollment starts at 2 seats, and the price per seat goes down as the team grows, up to 500+ seats. Tell us about your team through the group interest form and we’ll follow up with your rate.

How does the application process work?

It’s a short application, and you’ll hear back within two business days. We use it to make sure each cohort has the right level and mix of senior leaders, so everyone gets a great experience. Once you’re accepted, payment is due within one week to hold your spot. If you can’t make it, our refund policy is covered in the program terms and agreements. Applications close March 16.

What if I miss a live session?

Live sessions are recorded, so you can watch the recording if you can’t attend.

Will I receive a certificate?

Yes. Everyone who completes the course receives a certificate.

Can my employer pay for the course?

Yes. We can invoice your employer. If you need to pay that way, mark it on your application.

Payment is due within one week of acceptance. After that, your spot will be released.

AI Strategy + Leadership Course for Executives

Q: Who is this course designed for?

Senior leaders who shape their organization’s direction and need to make informed decisions about AI without becoming technical specialists. That includes C-suite executives and business-unit leaders, strategy, innovation, and transformation executives, senior functional leaders responsible for organizational change, and leadership teams who want a shared understanding of AI.

A faster version of yesterday's business may not be enough.

Most organizations use AI to do what they already do, a little faster. That's how they end up with AI theater: plenty of activity, very little change. There's a better question to start with.

Not "how do we use AI?" but "what should this business become?"

Why singularity

A different strategic lens

Singularity has spent years studying how exponential technologies reshape industries. This course puts that perspective in your hands.

Our approach to AI strategy goes beyond understanding individual tools and applications. It examines the forces driving technological change, the opportunities created when technologies converge, and the decisions leaders must make in response.

Think exponentially

Challenge assumptions about how quickly technology can advance and what becomes possible as costs fall and capabilities improve.

Recognize convergence

Explore how AI intersects with robotics, biotechnology, automation, and other emerging technologies to create opportunities and competitive threats.

Lead transformation

Translate technological possibilities into strategic choices, organizational priorities, and responsible action.

Outcomes

What you'll be able to do

Anticipate disruption.

Recognize how AI and other exponential technologies could reshape your industry and competitive environment.

Identify meaningful opportunities.

Distinguish promising AI applications from hype and prioritize opportunities that could create genuine business value.

Make better strategic decisions.

Evaluate opportunities through the lenses of organizational readiness, data, technology, and responsible governance.

Lead with confidence.

Understand the human and organizational implications of AI, including where leadership judgment and accountability remain essential.

Put ideas into practice.

Apply what you learn to a real challenge and explore a practical path forward.

The course

Six weeks. Six questions worth answering

Each week starts with on-demand sessions you watch on your schedule, then a live workshop, delivered at two different time zones, where you put the ideas to work with other senior leaders.

Week 1

Exponentials

Why is the pace of change accelerating, and what does it mean for your organization's future?

Understand exponential technologies, the forces driving AI development, and why conventional assumptions about the future can be misleading.

Week 2

Where AI creates value

Where does AI create real value in your organization, and how do you decide where to act first?

Explore how to identify organizational challenges, uncover opportunities, and distinguish meaningful AI applications from distractions.

Week 3

The right solution

Not every problem is an AI problem. How do you identify the right solution for your challenge?

Examine the role of data, AI models, organizational capabilities, and responsible decision-making in evaluating potential solutions.

Week 4

Decoding the future

How do you spot the signals that matter, and which decisions stay with human leaders?

Consider the human side of AI, from accountability and governance to organizational trust and anticipating change.

Week 5

Putting AI to work

What can today’s AI tools actually do, and how do you ask for precise, relevant outputs?

Explore practical AI tools and methods, and use them to investigate or develop potential solutions to real challenges.

Week 6

Capstone project

What will you change, commit to, and lead differently as a result?

Most AI courses stay conceptual. Here, each week's live workshop has you apply what you just learned to your own organization, working alongside other senior leaders.
