Program content
This program is part of IE´s AI for Functions, a series of programs around AI applied to different functions.
Over 3,5 days, you’ll take part in an immersive, hands-on learning experience designed to help you understand, apply and lead with generative and agentic AI in finance.
The experience begins with the AI-Driven Transformation Kick-Off Session, bringing together participants from across AI for Functions to establish a shared perspective on the opportunities and challenges AI is creating across organizations. Later in the program, The Future of Work shifts the conversation toward leadership, exploring how AI is reshaping the way we work, lead and collaborate.
Alongside these shared sessions, participants engage in interactive workshops, hands-on tool demonstrations, peer collaboration, real-world case analysis and strategic planning sessions. A practical business case runs throughout the experience: participants build on it day by day, applying what they learn and ultimately presenting their work on Day 3. Along the way, they explore not only what AI can do, but also where human judgment, oversight and accountability remain essential.
On the final day, participants from across AI for Functions come together again for an expert panel that builds on the conversation started in The Future of Work. Moving from reflection to implementation, the session focuses on the practical do’s and dont's of implementing AI within organizations, helping leaders navigate the realities of turning AI ambition into action.
Participants will also enjoy an exclusive visit to an AI museum, offering a unique opportunity to explore AI beyond the classroom and experience its evolution, applications and future potential firsthand.

Onboarding Prework
About two hours online, at your own pace. A short questionnaire so faculty know where you start, your logins, installing Claude on your laptop, and a first hour of practice.
Day 1: See Clearly
What finance teams have really deployed, which uses change cost, speed or accuracy, and who is accountable when AI gets it wrong. Taught with real cases.
Day 2: Build it
You build with your own hands on a practice company’s files: a forecast with scenarios, an automated finance process, and a board narrative from a monthly pack.
Day 3: Make it yours
You take one workflow from your own job, decide step by step what AI should do and what stays with a person, and build a one-page pilot case, with a simple demo where the workflow allows. You present it with your team, with a plan for putting it to work in your organization.
Day 4: IE AI for Functions
Shared with every AI for Functions program: a roundtable of the academic directors, a hands-on session and a farewell cocktail.
