New AI Leadership Transformation Program is first of its kind for leader-specific AI fluency
Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of work.
Generative AI has gone from curiosity to capability in record time, and with it, the pressure is on for businesses to adapt. But while 92% of companies say they plan to increase their investment in generative AI, only 1% have reached enterprise-wide AI maturity.
The problem isn’t technical. It’s leadership. And leadership, not just technical skill, is the key to enterprise AI transformation.
Too many organizations are betting on tools before transformation. And the biggest blocker? Leadership teams that haven’t yet aligned on what AI means for their business, their strategy, or their people.
That’s why we’ve joined forces with leadership coaching leader (and fellow LHH and Adecco Group company) EZRA, to launch something entirely new: the AI Leadership Transformation Program. It’s a first-of-its-kind, six-month experience specifically designed to help leaders confidently navigate AI-driven change across the enterprise.
The gap: AI ambition without leadership alignment
The data is clear:
- 75% of C-suite leaders say that scaling AI is business-critical
- Yet only 24% regularly use GenAI tools themselves
That disconnect has real consequences. When leadership teams don’t understand how to use AI—or what strategic value it can unlock—they can’t model responsible use, drive adoption, or support enterprise-wide transformation. The result? Fragmented efforts, slow ROI, and wasted potential.
Our AI Leadership Transformation Program closes that gap by transforming how your top leaders approach, understand, and lead with AI.
Who the AI for leadership program is for: Enterprise-scale, change-ready organizations
The AI Leadership Transformation Program is purpose-built for leadership teams at enterprise organizations looking to move fast and move smart. It’s especially valuable for:
- Companies already exploring GenAI but struggling to scale
- Teams feeling fragmented or misaligned on AI goals
- Leadership groups eager to lead innovation responsibly
This isn’t a general offering. It’s a confidential, exclusive program designed for one company’s leadership team at a time. Your AI priorities. Your strategy. Your transformation through General Assembly’s expert-led AI curriculum and EZRA’s personalized leadership coaching.

Why the AI Leadership Transformation Program works: Focus on transformation, not just training
Most leadership education still focuses on theory. Our program focuses on real-world transformation.
This program isn’t about becoming a technical expert. It’s about becoming a strategic, confident, and aligned AI-first leader.
Successful AI transformations start at the top—with the leaders who set strategic direction, control budgets, and guide digital transformation. This is a pioneering program designed exclusively for strategic leaders to develop the knowledge, confidence, and skills required to lead AI transformation and unlock full value from AI investments.

The biggest barrier to AI transformation isn’t technology, it’s a leader’s mindset. Leaders can pour over AI strategy, but real change happens when coaching rewires how they operate day-to-day. This program is not just teaching AI skills; its inviting leaders to shift behaviors within themselves to embrace and see value from investments in AI. This is where real change happens.
