CORPORATE STRATEGY
Hight recommeded seminar in Zurich about AI applied to Business Decisions
Extacted from Dr. Bert Wolfs, Dean at SBS Swiss Business School.
Day 2 of our executive course on Critical Thinking — with and without AI.
And one thing became very clear:
AI is not making critical thinking less important. It is making poor thinking more dangerous.
Today, I watched experienced executives solve complex business problems first without AI and then with AI.
The contrast was fascinating. Without AI, people had to slow down, challenge assumptions, question the evidence, debate alternatives, and defend their conclusions.
With AI, everything became faster.
Ideas came faster. But something else happened too:
Weak assumptions suddenly sounded intelligent.
The incomplete evidence sounded convincing.
And wrong answers could look surprisingly professional.
That is the real leadership challenge.
The question is no longer:
“Can you use AI?” Most executives will soon be able to do that.
The more important question is:
“Can you still think when AI gives you an answer?”
That requires a very different skill set.
This course is not about teaching executives how to use another AI tool.
It is about teaching leaders how to make better decisions when AI is sitting at the table.
If you are a manager or executive and you have ever accepted an AI answer because it looked right, this course is probably for you.
