MTLC & Kendall Project: Training Senior Leaders to Optimize AI
Senior tech leaders are under pressure to “do something with AI,” but many organizations struggle to move from pilots and experimentation to focused, high-ROI initiatives that actually ship.
This 6-hour, in-person program introduces the Kendall Project Framework, a structured, problem-first approach that helps leaders clarify where AI can drive real business value, build a shared language across functions, and identify the right use cases to prioritize. Through short talks, working sessions, and peer discussion, participants will map their own challenges, translate them into AI-ready opportunities, and walk away with an initial portfolio of use cases and a clear next-step action plan they can take back to their organizations.
Who should attend:
CEOs and Presidents driving digital competitiveness
CIOs, CTOs, CDOs leading AI strategy and execution
Senior product, engineering, and data leaders accountable for delivery
Technology executives responsible for cross-functional transformation
What You Will Walk Away With:
A practical leadership framework for moving from AI experimentation to AI execution
An understanding of why “context” is the force multiplier, and what “industrial-grade context” looks like
A repeatable method for curating and prioritizing problems so your team can build an AI opportunity portfolio
A starting-point for AI operations in the enterprise and how to think about workflows, governance, safety, and adoption
Format & timing:
6-hour, in-person workshop
Mix of frameworks overview, interactive exercises, and peer exchange
Participants are encouraged to bring real problems and current AI ideas to work on live
