Overview
In this Executive Decision Lab with IRIS Education, you will learn to integrating AI and Sustainability as Value Creation Levers.
This is a decision-driven AI & Sustainability programme that moves leaders from compliance thinking to value-creating action with evidence, ownership, and execution built in.
WHY ATTEND THE PROGRAMME
- Designed as an executive decision lab — not an AI skills course. AI is used to sharpen trade-offs and improve decision quality under sustainability pressure.
- Bridges compliance (CSRD, ISSB) with execution, translating regulatory pressure into three owned initiatives (Adapt, Thrive, Catalyse) delivered through a concrete 90-day action plan.
- Uses the 7 Principles of a Sustainable Company as a strategic anchor, providing philosophical depth and a rigorous decision framework to prioritise what truly matters.
- Applies AI hands-on where it creates value, not just insight — using AI to compare, stress-test, and prioritise initiatives with a clear ROI and feasibility lens.
- Grounded in real-world execution, with insights and testimonials from one of the world’s most advanced sustainability-driven companies, ensuring credibility beyond theory.
- Real overview of all the AI landscape provided by practitioners and not academics
- Moves participants from learning to action, with each participant leaving with decisions, owners, governance logic, and a realistic execution roadmap for the next 90 days.
- Delivers a 90-day execution roadmap with a structured Day 60/90 virtual clinic, ensuring learning converts into measurable action.
