01 / Why now
More answers.
More need for judgment.
AI can produce research, analysis, recommendations and polished communication. The value of senior judgment increasingly lies in defining the question, structuring the problem and deciding what deserves attention.
That means testing assumptions and hypotheses, separating signal from noise and turning facts into implications. It also means checking whether the evidence supports a recommendation, and whether an AI-generated answer is ready to use, needs verification or should be rejected.
As answers become easier to produce, strong reasoning becomes more valuable.
02 / The workshop
One day.
Five disciplines.
Follow one connected executive case from the first question to a decision you can defend. Think individually, work in small groups and get feedback on your reasoning.

Your decision toolkit
Turn the approach into a personal decision toolkit.
You already make decisions that affect other people’s work. This day gives you time to examine how you reach them, especially when the information is incomplete or the stakes are high.
Individual executives

Future open cohorts with other experienced leaders.
For leadership and senior talent development, with applications in strategy, transformation and AI adoption. Give your team a shared way to frame problems and challenge recommendations.

Private company workshops, built around shared leadership challenges.
AI can generate an analysis, recommendation or argument in seconds. You still need to assess the question, the reasoning and the assumptions, then decide what to verify before acting. Throughout the day, AI-generated work gives you material to test and challenge.
No coding or technical AI background required. This is not a prompting course.
Before acting on an answer

Your instructor,
Adrien Foucault.
I’m a former McKinsey consultant and Harvard MBA. Through Spaik, the AI transformation boutique I founded, I advise senior leaders on strategy and transformation.
I also lecture on AI in business at HEC Paris and Sciences Po. The workshop draws on ways of thinking I developed through strategy consulting, executive work and teaching, adapted to the decisions senior leaders face.
