About The Masterclass

Leadership in the AI Era

Master the human capabilities that make you irreplaceable

As artificial intelligence reshapes every industry, leaders face a critical choice: become "AI concierges" who simply approve algorithmic recommendations, or strengthen the uniquely human capabilities that machines cannot replicate.

Based on the forthcoming book Human Magic, this inspiring masterclass with Professor Johan Roos will equip you with practical frameworks to lead with purpose in the age of AI. Drawing on three decades of organizational research, Professor Roos reveals why these five human capabilities have become more valuable than ever: curiosity, creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

You will gain concrete tools to navigate decisions when algorithms conflict with human values, learn daily disciplines to improve reasoning, and leave prepared to design human-AI collaborations that build collective intelligence and help your organization thrive.
