Is your business making the most of AI? AI for Functions is here.

Welcome to IE'S AI for Functions- a strategic learning experience designed to help leaders understand and shape the impact of Generative AI across business and society. Beyond tools, it explores how AI transforms leadership, decision-making, and human collaboration.

Participants will dive into how generative AI is reshaping decision-making, operations, and innovation across industries. The experience begins with a shared foundational module — Foundations for AI-Driven Transformation — a challenging and thought-provoking conversation that encompasses all the opportunities that AI brings as a technology that transforms all collaborative spaces to generate an enriching debate space that precedes the different tracks of AI for Functions.

From there, professionals join one of the five specialized tracks tailored to their sector: Finance, Healthcare, Law, Marketing, or Human Capital. Over three intensive days, participants will connect strategic vision with responsible innovation, discovering how AI can enhance foresight, creativity, and ethical governance. Each program delivers a hands-on, industry-specific deep dive into real-world applications of generative AI, combining expert-led sessions, practical tools, and case-based learning.

This experience is supported by world-class faculty who are redefining how AI transforms industries, organizations, and leadership - including Bernardo Crespo, Antonio García Romero or Arseniy Goldberg.

This learning experience is designed for mid- to senior-level professionals who want to lead with confidence in an AI-powered world:

  • Senior managers and functional leaders seeking to drive AI adoption.
  • Digital transformation and innovation professionals.
  • Executives aiming to upskill in emerging technologies.
  • Consultants and advisors working across AI-influenced sectors.
