Custom Enterprise Program

Built Around Your Context.

A structured, expert-led program equipping executive teams to lead AI transformation as a continuous discipline – not a series of one-off projects. Every engagement is designed around your organization’s specific context, maturity, and strategic priorities.
This program is delivered in collaboration with IMD Business School – ranked #1 worldwide for custom executive programs by the Financial Times for 14 consecutive years.
The enterprises that will win this decade will not be those that automate the most. They will be those that maintain their humanity while automating.
For
Executive Teams

CEOs, boards, AI governance councils, and business unit presidents – private and public sector. Particularly suited to regulated industries including banking, insurance, pharmaceuticals, energy, and defense.

The Difference
Capability, Not Dependency

Three Interconnected Components
I.
Leadership Capabilities

Equip your leadership team with the AI fluency, strategic mindset, and organizational capacity to own and sustain transformation – without depending on external consultants.

II.
Responsible AI Governance

Establish the accountability structures, risk frameworks, and decision rights your organization needs to govern AI responsibly – before regulators or incidents force the issue.

III.
AI Innovation Pipeline

Build a repeatable system for identifying, prioritizing, and scaling AI initiatives – moving from scattered pilots to a managed portfolio that delivers compounding value

Three Stages. Scoped to Your Organization.

This is not a prepackaged solution. Every engagement is designed around your organization’s specific context. Scope, depth, and duration are determined collaboratively. Combining IMD’s world-class executive education with Shadoka’s proven enterprise transformation expertise.

I.
Readiness Assessment

A focused diagnostic of your organization’s AI maturity, leadership alignment, capability gaps, and risk posture. Culminates in an Art of Possibilities session that equips leadership to systematically identify and prioritize AI opportunities.

II.
Custom Executive Education & Alignment

Custom programs co-designed by IMD faculty and Shadoka practitioners that build a common language across your leadership team for AI strategy, innovation, risk, and human-AI collaboration.

III.
Enablement & Execution

The methods, playbooks, advisory support, and digital platform your teams need to build and manage portfolios of AI initiatives from ideation through scaled deployment. The goal is capability, not dependency.
