AILC

AI Leadership Compass - executive AI coaching

Two days for a senior executive to take ownership of AI in their own role. Day one, they write their doctrine. Day two, they build and govern a personal AI working system. Cohorts of six to eight, no lectures: they produce, and they leave with what they produced.

Programme live. Co-built and co-run with David Horvat, former CIO at Allianz.

The programme has its own site, ai-ldc.com - in French.

The two days

Think, then do.

The rule the programme runs on: work with AI, and have it work in your place as little as possible. The executive decides, AI executes.

Day one · Think

Executive AI Playbook

Each executive writes their own position on what AI does to their function - anchored in their reality, not in a market overview.

Their role against AI: five to seven moments of truth
Their convictions: two or three positions they are ready to defend
Their plan: 90 days, one year, three to five years
Cross-cutting impact: management, governance, ethics

A business AI playbook of around twenty pages, plus a one-page executive summary.

Day two · Do

Executive AI Accelerator

They configure, prototype and govern a personal AI working system that can be handed to their team.

Foundations: data security, Shadow AI, framing
Prototyping: one or two real business use cases
Scaling: the dimensions of a working system
Personal governance: charter, blockers, commitments

One or two prototyped use cases, and a configured AI workspace they keep.

What they leave with

Four assets.

Usable on the Monday morning after - in a committee, or when taking up a new role.

01Business AI playbookTheir doctrine: vision, convictions, one-year roadmap, 90-day plan.
02Executive summaryThe one-pager to put on the table of an executive committee.
03One to two use casesPrototyped on their own moments of truth. Evidence of execution, not slides.
04A configured workspaceA personal AI working environment with structured memory, which stays theirs.
Format

Two days, six to eight people.

DurationTwo full days - one for the playbook, one for the accelerator.
CohortSix to eight executives. Peer-level collective coaching.
MethodAI-assisted production, debate, peer review. No lectures.
BringA laptop and a dedicated AI environment, set up with each participant beforehand.
OptionalFollow-up over three to six months: helpdesk and reinforcement sessions.
Who forNo technical prerequisite. Works for an executive coming alone among peers, or for a leadership team deciding to move together.
Where it sits

The same approach, applied to the executive.

AILC is human-first applied to the top of the organisation. The target is not a tool rollout: it is the craft of the executive - the decisions and arbitrations that only they make. What they build over the two days is their own knowledge of their role, made explicit.

It is also where governance gets decided rather than inherited: personal rules on data and on Shadow AI, set before informal usage sets them by default.

Two practitioners run it, not two speakers. David Horvat - former CIO at Allianz, group principal data architect, AI trust lead. And me.
