AI for Executive Decision Making
with Maya Chen — Head of AI Strategy, Northwind · Lecturer, Stanford GSB
AI as a Decision-Making Discipline
Most executives are using AI as a faster search engine. The leaders pulling ahead are using it as a structured thinking partner — a way to stress-test assumptions, surface second-order effects and make sharper calls under pressure.
This masterclass replaces hype with method. You will leave with a concrete playbook for integrating AI into the decisions that actually matter at the top of an organization.

Four outcomes you will leave with
- 01Build a personal AI workflow that supports — not replaces — executive judgment.
- 02Use AI to pressure-test strategic assumptions and surface what you have not considered.
- 03Distinguish the decisions where AI compounds value from the ones where it quietly destroys it.
- 04Set the policies, guardrails and operating norms that make AI use in your organization defensible.
"AI does not give you the answer. It gives you a better question — faster."
