Most organizations are experimenting with AI. Few are using it to make better strategic decisions.

The gap isn't technology but knowing how to apply AI where it actually matters: strategic thinking, decision processes, and organizational transformation.
In this free 60-minute masterclass, Prof. Dr. Strohmaier (Chair for Data Science in the Economic and Social Sciences) introduces a practical approach to AI-enabled strategy that goes beyond tools and pilots.

What you will explore:
Rather than focusing on technology alone, this session covers three emerging capabilities reshaping how companies approach strategy:

- Personal AI strategy consultants: How executives can build AI systems that understand their industry, company context, and strategic priorities to improve decision-making
- Enterprise AI transformation: Managing AI at scale by aligning data, talent, governance, and leadership across the organization
- In-silico modeling: Simulating how customers, markets, and stakeholders may respond to strategic decisions before implementing them in the real world

Who is this session for?
Executives, strategy leaders, transformation managers, and anyone responsible for turning AI from experimentation into strategic capability.

This masterclass blends academic research with practical frameworks, supported by peer exchange and live Q&A.
At the end of the session, you will discover programs at Mannheim Business School for those ready to deepen their AI strategy journey.

Please note that this session will be held in English.
