    Real Briefs. Real Builds.

    A few practical sessions for cross-functional leaders to work with AI tools and make something real together.

    From curiosity to capability.

    Most AI projects stall before they reach the organisation — not because the technology failed, but because the capability was never built into the people who lead it.

    The gap is not access to AI tools. It is the gap between AI curiosity and AI competence. And that gap is a leadership problem — not a technology problem.

    Leaders work on real briefs, using AI Builder as part of one practical programme, and demonstrate what they have made.

    Learn. Experiment. Apply.

    Learn

    Understand the business brief together and explore the AI tools that can help.

    Experiment

    Work across functions with AI Builder and other AI tools to make a real build.

    Apply

    Put the build against the real brief, learn from it and agree what to take forward.

    The result is a shared way of working and a real build shaped around your organisation's brief.

    The work in practice

    Kontron leadership programme

    Leadership cohort · Kontron

    A leadership team building with AI

    In Kontron’s 2025 twelve-week cohort, 22 executives across 8 departments and 3 continents worked on real briefs. Each participant demonstrated a working prototype at graduation. This is a result from that cohort, not a promise about the shorter format.

    AI tools put to work

    A focused session helped leaders cut through the noise, choose useful AI tools and start adopting them immediately. A workshop example, rather than a cross-functional build.

    What makes this different

    Practitioner-led

    Every session is led by Eleni Lialiamou — an AI product strategist with 20+ years of product leadership, 6 US Patents, and 9 AI products shipped.

    Built on real briefs

    Participants do not work on hypothetical scenarios. They work on genuine challenges from inside their organisation.

    Capability that outlasts

    The goal is not to make the cohort enthusiastic about AI. It is to make them competent — and to ensure that competence spreads.

    FAQ

    What is AI For Leaders?

    A practical programme delivered over a few sessions. Cross-functional leadership teams bring a real business brief, work with AI tools and AI Builder, and make a real build together. The three stages are Learn, Experiment, Apply.

    Who is AI For Leaders designed for?

    Senior leaders and cross-functional leadership teams in organisations where AI adoption has stalled at the enthusiast level — or where the board has mandated AI capability without a credible programme to deliver it.

    How is this different from a standard AI training course?

    Instead of working through hypothetical exercises, teams bring a brief from their organisation and build together across functions. The sessions combine useful AI tools, AI Builder and hands-on product leadership.

    Where is it delivered?

    UK by Kimolian.AI, led by Eleni Lialiamou. EU delivery available through co-delivery with FutureHabits (Kasia Sadowska). In-person, online, and hybrid formats available.

    What did Kontron AG achieve?

    Kontron made AI the centrepiece of its 2025 Sustainable Leadership Academy. 22 senior executives from 8 departments across 3 continents completed six biweekly sessions over 12 weeks, moving through Learn (AI literacy and product thinking), Experiment (prototyping sprints and user testing on real business briefs) and Apply (co-creating prototypes and presenting to senior leadership). Every participant demonstrated a working AI prototype at the graduation in Vienna on 28 May 2025. Participants left using AI as a work partner, making faster data-driven decisions and collaborating across departments and time zones. CFO Dr. Clemens Billek said the programme showed clearly what modern leadership development can achieve.

    What happened at the Six Women Dinners workshop?

    Six Women Dinners brings together women leaders for intimate, high-impact sessions. Our AI For Leaders workshop replaced theory with real scenarios from participants' own businesses: which AI tools are worth their time, where AI creates value versus hype, and how to start using it this week rather than next quarter. Leaders left with AI tools selected and tested for their role, a clear way to judge hype against value, and immediate next steps. Founder Sandie Bakowski said it made a huge and overwhelming topic feel completely approachable.
