Our Impactful Programmes on Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is transforming how we think, decide, and create value, but many struggle to move beyond experimentation to meaningful impact. As AI pioneer Fei-Fei Li observed, “AI is not a substitute for human intelligence; it’s a partner that amplifies our capacity to think, create, and decide.” Our programmes embrace this principle, helping participants understand not just what AI can do, but how to use it to shape smarter strategies, drive meaningful innovation, and thrive in a rapidly changing world.
​
Led by Dr Anyu Gao, who worked in data and AI long before they became mainstream, in global leaders such as Thomson Reuters and Clarivate, CSI Partners brings deep, practical expertise to every engagement. Our programmes are trusted by the University of Cambridge, and we approach AI for our clients from a rich understanding of strategy, innovation, and leadership, ensuring real-world impact beyond technical or academic theory.
​
We also offer modular sessions as a flexible and cost-effective alternative to our comprehensive full-impact workshops. These shorter, intensive sessions are custom-designed to address specific organisational needs, explore key concepts, or accommodate limited time. If you’re interested in our full or modular AI programmes, please get in touch.
Cambridge AI Summit on Education 2025:
Re-creating Innovation Portfolios for Strategic Success
At the Cambridge AI Summit on Education 2025, Dr Anyu Gao presented how GenAI-enabled simulations are transforming executive and business education at the Cambridge Judge Business School. These simulations have significantly enhanced engagement and interaction among participants in the Cambridge Global Executive MBA and Cambridge Advanced Leadership Programmes, showcasing how AI can elevate learning impact and experiential understanding.
​
Building on this success, the simulations are now available as standalone learning modules for organisations seeking to address one of their most persistent challenges—aligning innovation with strategy. Designed to provoke reflection and decision-making under real-world conditions, these modules offer a powerful way to explore the strategic and human dimensions of innovation in the age of AI.
Capability and Fluency Assessment for Artificial Intelligence and Data Governance
Developed in collaboration with Bright Angle Consulting, this hybrid programme combines structured assessment, facilitated workshops, and follow-on consulting, to help organisations understand and strengthen their organisational capabilities for AI and data governance. Built on years of strategic and leadership experience in the data and analytics industry, and underpinned by proven disciplines in innovation and execution, the framework provides a clear and actionable view of governance maturity as a strategic capability.
​
Through this process, leadership teams gain the insight needed to align vision, accountability, and investment around data and AI initiatives—turning governance from a compliance exercise into a driver of performance and value creation. A modest investment in assessment often uncovers significant efficiency gains and savings that can be reinvested into strategic and operational opportunities across the business.
Artificial Intelligence: Shaping the Future of your Business
This half-day workshop explores how artificial intelligence is transforming the way startups and growing enterprises operate and compete. Drawing on the latest strategic innovation frameworks and practical applications across a range of businesses, the session helps founders and business leaders identify where AI can create value, accelerate growth, and strengthen their business models.
​
Participants learn to recognise the real opportunities and challenges of AI adoption—moving beyond hype to practical application. Through live demonstrations, case examples, and interactive discussion, the workshop highlights how AI can streamline operations, enhance innovation, and enable smarter decisions.
​
Tailor-made sessions of this programme were successfully delivered to Barclays Eagle Labs and Accelerate Cambridge, where it was highly valued and well received.
Bespoke Sessions for Leaders to Succeed with Artificial Intelligence
The opportunities created by artificial intelligence have far-reaching implications for both the internal operations of your organisation and the competitive and fast-evolving environment in which you operate.
​
At an organisational level, the challenges of adopting AI, from building the right capabilities to managing risk, are experienced differently across organisations. These differences are shaped by the nature of the business, existing internal capabilities, regulatory requirements, and rapidly evolving customer needs and expectations.
​
The question, therefore, is no longer whether artificial intelligence is relevant to your organisation, but how it can be leveraged in ways that are meaningful to your specific context. Recognising that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach, we work closely with your team to first understand your challenges and priorities, and then design and deliver bespoke sessions using a range of proven frameworks, tools, and AI solutions.
​
Each engagement begins with a structured fit-exploration, which may lead to a tailored proposal, whether in the form of workshops, advisory support, consulting or mixed, aligned with your objectives, timelines, and budget.​​
