AI Leadership Forum

A Facilitated Peer Forum for Senior Executives Making the Real Decisions Artificial Intelligence Is Creating Inside Their Organizations

Organizations Are Adopting AI Faster Than Leaders Can Adapt

Although 88% of companies now use artificial intelligence (AI) somewhere in their organization, research shows that just 5% are creating substantial value from it.

The technology is not the problem. ChatGPT, Gemini, and a growing set of AI tools are already inside most companies, with or without an official AI strategy behind them.

The challenge is that leaders are being asked to make consequential AI decisions without the experience, expertise, or peer support those decisions require.

Which AI use cases deserve investment? How should leaders govern AI agents that can take action on their own? Should a chatbot pilot be scaled or shut down? What does AI transformation mean for the operating model, headcount, and risk management?

Most senior leaders are working through these questions alone.

A Peer Forum That Helps Leaders Adapt and Drive AI Impact

AIIR Consulting’s AI Leadership Forum is a facilitated peer coaching experience for senior leaders facing consequential AI decisions. Participants work through the AI challenges they are facing right now, learn from peers who face the same ones, and build the judgment to lead well in the AI era.

It is not a conference. It is not a technical course. It is a small, confidential group of senior leaders meeting regularly to get better at the decisions AI is putting in front of them.

What Is the AI Leadership Forum Experience?

Leaders meet for nine monthly facilitated sessions of 90 minutes each. Every session centers on what participants are actually dealing with inside their organizations.

Leaders bring real challenges. The group works through them together. Everyone leaves with clearer thinking and practical ideas they can act on before the next session.

A concept, framework, or real-world example that connects directly to a decision the group is facing. That might be a working model for AI governance, a comparison of how generative AI and agentic AI change workflows in different ways, or a look at how AI-native companies structure their teams.

Early sessions include more of this. As the cohort deepens, the group itself becomes the primary source of insight.

Participants share how AI is being used, tested, or debated inside their organizations right now. A customer service chatbot that underperformed. A Gemini rollout across a sales team. AI agents handling procurement tasks. An internal LLM that legal wants to shut down.

The candor in these conversations is where the most useful learning tends to happen.

Every session ends with specific ideas each participant intends to test before the group meets again. Over nine months, that adds up to a series of AI experiments run inside real teams.

About the Facilitators

Senior leaders need guidance grounded in what is actually happening inside organizations, not just theories about where AI is headed. The forum is led by AIIR coaches who use AI in their own work every day. They work with the same generative AI tools their clients are deciding on, from ChatGPT and Gemini to AI agents built for specific workflows, advise senior leaders through those decisions, and apply AI across the engagements they run.

Their authority comes from practice, not theory.

The AI Leadership Forum Is Available as an Open-Enrollment Peer Forum or as a Private Forum for Your Leaders

Peer Forum

Leaders from different organizations join a single cohort. Participants get an outside perspective and cross-industry insight into how others are handling AI strategy, governance, and vendor decisions, from OpenAI enterprise agreements to Gemini deployments to homegrown LLMs.

AIIR manages enrollment, cohort curation, and facilitation, giving leaders a structured environment to work through decisions they may otherwise be making alone. Available on its own or as a complement to executive coaching.

Organization Forum

Your organization sponsors a dedicated cohort drawn from your own leadership team. The format, facilitation approach, and session structure stay the same, with the option to tailor themes around your organization’s specific AI priorities: a GenAI rollout, an agentic AI pilot, an AI program that has lost momentum, or governance for AI agents already in production.

The result is a shared forum for your leaders to work through those challenges together and build greater alignment around AI decisions.

What Do Leaders and Their Organizations Stand to Gain?

Sharper AI Judgement

Leaders develop the clarity and confidence to make consequential AI decisions faster. The organization gets sharper choices made closer to the work.

Safer, Smarter AI Bets

Leaders learn to recognize where AI delivers real value and where it creates exposure, whether that is a chatbot handling regulated customer data, an LLM working from the wrong inputs, or an AI agent with more system access than anyone intended. The organization can invest in what works while avoiding unnecessary exposure.

Real Tested Use Cases

Each leader returns with concrete experiments already tested inside their teams. The organization gets tangible progress on AI instead of another stalled initiative.

A Trusted Peer Network

Leaders gain a circle of senior peers they can keep learning from for years. The organization gains an ongoing view into how others are solving the same problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About the AI Leadership Forum

Senior leaders who own consequential AI decisions: C-suite members, division heads, functional leaders, and the executives responsible for AI or digital transformation across the business.

No. You do not need to understand reinforcement learning or how LLMs are trained to lead well in the AI era, and no one will quiz you on the Turing test. You need judgment about where AI tools, AI agents, and chatbots create value and where they create risk. That is what the forum builds.

A conference gives you a day of presentations. Executive education gives you a curriculum. The forum gives you nine months of structured problem-solving with the same small group of peers, focused on the decisions you are actually making.

Whatever participants are dealing with. Expect conversations about vendor selection (OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Microsoft Copilot, open-source LLMs), governance for agentic AI, GenAI adoption across functions, virtual assistants in customer-facing roles, cybersecurity exposure from unsanctioned AI use, and how AI changes the operating model.

Small by design, so every participant gets time in every session.
