IY&A launches executive workshop series focused on AI governance and deployment
IY&A has announced a weekly leadership forum designed to help boards and senior executives move from general interest in artificial intelligence to specific, board-ready decisions about AI adoption and deployment.
The six-week Applied AI Advantage Executive Lunch & Learn Series addresses a practical problem: while AI is reshaping productivity and decision-making across industries, most leadership teams lack structured frameworks to evaluate and implement AI safely.
Each session brings together board members, chief executives, functional leaders, and risk professionals for a focused briefing on high-impact AI use cases, governance requirements, and operational implications. Participants leave with a "Decision Packet" that outlines a prioritised use case, required data, governance controls, operating model changes, and a pilot implementation plan.
What the series covers
- AI portfolio prioritisation and board-level governance
- Commercial acceleration through intelligent pricing and revenue optimisation
- Operating model automation and productivity redesign
- Supply-chain resilience under volatility
- Risk, compliance, and decision support systems
- AI-enabled product innovation and time-to-market acceleration
The final session converts selected opportunities into a 30-day pilot mobilisation blueprint, enabling organisations to move from strategy discussion to controlled deployment.
Richard Osei-Anim, Senior Partner and Chief AI Officer at IY&A, said the series addresses a shift in how boards approach AI. "The conversation around AI is moving rapidly from curiosity to responsibility. Boards and executive teams are being asked to make decisions about AI adoption that affect productivity, competitiveness, and institutional risk."
Sessions take place primarily in person at ALX Ghana, with livestream access for regional executives. Participation is invite-led and limited to maintain an executive working environment.
Schedule and registration
The series runs across two months: April 14, 16, 21, 23, 28, and 30, then May 5, 7, 12, 14, 19, and 21. Registration is open at ayatickets.com.
