The Enterprise AI Leadership Series / Introduction
New for 2026
The Enterprise AI Leadership Series: Governing, Scaling, and Competing with AI
Artificial Intelligence has crossed a structural inflection point. It is no longer a set of experimental tools or isolated pilots—AI is rapidly becoming core enterprise infrastructure, reshaping decision-making, operating models, risk exposure, and competitive advantage.
Despite unprecedented investment, many large enterprises still struggle to convert AI capability into repeatable, governed, enterprise-wide value. The challenge is rarely the model. It is leadership: reasoning clearly about probabilistic, adaptive, and increasingly autonomous systems; designing architectures and operating models that scale responsibly; governing AI across functions, geographies, and regulatory regimes; and aligning people, workflows, and incentives with AI-driven change.
The Enterprise AI Leadership Series was created to address this gap. It is designed explicitly for senior technology leaders who are accountable for making AI work—at enterprise scale.
This is not a tools program. It is a leadership program for the AI era.
Who should attend
The CTO Forum’s Enterprise AI Leadership Series is designed for senior leaders who recognize that AI is no longer a technical initiative, but a core business capability they must actively own.
It is intended for CTOs, CIOs, and technology executives responsible for translating AI potential into operational reality, alongside CEOs and other C-Suite leaders who must set strategy, govern risk, and lead organizational transformation in an AI-driven era.
