AI Leadership Forum

We are at a turning point: Artificial intelligence is changing how we make decisions, lead, collaborate, and shape organizations. And that's exactly why we are developing a new event format that will accompany leaders into this next era. It will be a forum dedicated exclusively to the topic of AI leadership. 

With practical insights, high-profile speakers, and real leadership tools. The approach: Less hype. More genuine leadership competence in dealing with AI. 

Save the date and your ticket for October 22, 2026, and be there when the 4th SAFe Leadership Forum takes place together with the 1st AI Leadership Forum in Zurich. 

The topics of the forum are:

From Hype to Value

The sessions on “From Hype to Value” focus on how organizations can move from experiments to structural value realization. The spotlight is on real-world experiences with strategic prioritization, governance, investment logic, and handling failed initiatives. Together, we explore why so many initiatives remain stuck in the “proof-of-concept” stage, how the gap between investment and actual value can be closed, and how leadership can shift the focus from technological feasibility to measurable impact.

The AI-Native Leader

The sessions on “The AI-Native Leader” address how leadership is evolving in the age of algorithmic systems. Central to the discussions are community perspectives on decision rights, shifts in accountability, human-in-the-loop models, and the design of governance in dynamic systems. Together, we reflect on how leadership identity is changing, how authority is reshaped, and how leadership transitions from a mode of control to one of calibration and orientation.

Industry Deep Dives – Real Value Stories

The sessions on “Industry Deep Dives – Real Value Stories” offer professional exchange on real transformation stories from Swiss and international organizations.
The focus is on concrete experiences from banking, industry, retail, and other sectors: Which structural changes were necessary? How were decision-making processes adapted? Which metrics improved measurably? Together, we discuss how isolated initiatives can evolve into sustainable value creation and which leadership decisions truly make the difference.
