Artificial intelligence has moved decisively from the IT department to the boardroom.

Artificial intelligence has moved decisively from the IT department to the boardroom. In 2026, three distinct waves of AI are reshaping how organisations operate: generative AI is transforming knowledge work and content; predictive AI is rewriting forecasting, risk, and resource allocation; and agentic AI is beginning to restructure entire workflows and operating models.

Leaders who cannot distinguish between these waves, govern their risks, and direct their adoption will find a strategy being made for them by vendors, consultants, and their own unsupervised staff.

This five-day flagship programme equips board members and senior executives from across Africa with a working strategic command of all three AI categories without requiring any technical background.

Through boardroom simulations, live scenario exercises, hands-on demonstrations, study tours to leading UK AI institutions, and structured peer reviews, participants will develop a complete AI strategy and governance framework they can take back and deploy in their own organisations.
