MODULE 3

Action Learning: toolkits for capturing insights and translating them into the participants' local business contexts.

Participant Profile

Designed for Strategic Decision-Makers

This program demands the ability to translate field insights directly into organizational strategy — which is why it's designed for those who hold the reins of their company's direction.

You hold the reins of your company's strategic direction.

  • See firsthand how AI strategy is applied on the operational floor, not just in research reports.
  • Take home a framework for assessing which advantages can be replicated, and which depend on China's unique ecosystem.
  • Build a network with fellow business leaders from various industries in Indonesia throughout the immersion.

A strategic mandate requires strategic guidance. You won't find theoretical lectures here.
