Stirling Centre Celebrates Successful Launch of Cambridge Executive Education Series on AI-Powered Leadership

Cambridge, England — The Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning and Innovation is proud to announce the successful delivery of the inaugural Cambridge Executive Education Series – AI-Powered Leadership: Unlocking Business Value with AI Strategy, delivered in collaboration with iVolution and the Cambridge Service Alliance, University of Cambridge.

The landmark programme brought together senior leaders from medium-sized and large organisations, as well as family businesses, across diverse sectors, including construction, medical devices, catering, food and beverage, and technology. This cross-sector cohort created a dynamic environment for dialogue, shared insight, and collaborative transformation.

Over five immersive days in Cambridge, the executive education experience intentionally moved beyond traditional best practice toward next practice, focusing on four strategic themes shaping the future of leadership in the AI era:

  • AI as a strategic leadership capability — positioning Industry 4.0, governance, and organisational transformation at the board level.
  • Service innovation and agentic AI — redesigning customer experience, enabling autonomous decision systems, and unlocking measurable value.
  • Data-driven business models and execution — translating strategy into scalable implementation, financial impact, and sustainable growth.
  • Learning-driven foresight and future readiness — equipping leaders to anticipate disruption and shape adaptive, intelligent organisations.

What distinguished this programme was not only its academic depth, but the powerful partnership of insight and practice uniting the Stirling Centre, Cambridge Service Alliance, and iVolution. Together, these institutions supported leaders shaping the next chapter of AI-enabled transformation across the MENA region and beyond.

The Stirling Centre extends sincere appreciation to Professor Mohamed Zaki, Dr Mohamed Fahmi, and the outstanding Cambridge faculty and practitioners whose scholarship, expertise, and engagement made this learning journey deeply meaningful.

Looking Ahead

This inaugural programme marks the beginning of an expanding portfolio of global learning journeys led by the Stirling Centre. Upcoming initiatives include:

  • Global Health & Medical Tourism Leadership – Albania (March)
  • AI-Powered Leadership Programme – Cambridge (April)

Through these international programmes, the Stirling Centre continues to build bridges between learning, innovation, foresight, and excellence, convening leaders committed not only to navigating change but to shaping the future.
