Women in Leadership: Principles That Create Enterprise Value in the Era of AI
Principles Embedded in AI Systems
As AI systems move from generating outputs to executing decisions, leadership principles are embedded directly into AI architecture: which data is authorized, which decisions are automated, where autonomy is constrained, and how accountability is enforced.
These choices now determine enterprise performance, resilience, and leadership trust.
This leadership dialogue examines how principles embedded in AI systems shape enterprise growth, governance, and accountability—aligned with the World Economic Forum 2026 theme, "A Spirit of Dialogue."
Participants leave with clear, actionable insight into how leadership principles embedded into AI systems create durable enterprise value.

REWIRE the Organization for AI
From AI pilots to AI-native enterprises
AI is no longer an experiment. It is reshaping how organisations create value, operate, and compete. While many companies have launched pilots, few succeed in scaling them — as strategy, operating models, and technology evolve out of sync.
REWIRE is a high-level programme for leaders ready to move beyond experimentation. It brings clarity to what becoming AI-native actually requires, focusing on the organisational, operational, and leadership shifts needed to embed AI into the core of how companies run and scale.
