THE AI-GENERATION INNOVATOR PROGRAM
Become a Hyper-Innovator for the AI-Generation Economy
THE CHALLENGE
We are entering a once-in-a-generation reset of how innovation works.
AI is not just accelerating existing innovation processes. It is short-circuiting many of them.What is changing now:• Innovation is no longer limited by execution capacity. AI collapses the cost of building, testing, and iterating.• The true constraint has shifted upstream to problem selection, framing, and imagination.• Most products and solutions being built today are still extensions of a pre-AI world.• Teams are innovating faster, but in the wrong direction.• Traditional innovation methods optimize for improvement, not reinvention.As a result, many organizations are innovating hard, yet drifting strategically.
➜ The real innovation risk in the AI era is not moving too slowly, but reinventing too little.
THE SHIFT
A different kind of innovator is emerging.
Not one who evolves existing products. Not one who layers AI onto yesterday’s solutions.But one who re-designs products from a clean sheet of paper for the AI-rich environment.They are the AI-Generation Innovators.They innovate by operating at a higher strategic and creative altitude, upstream of tools, roadmaps, and features.They focus on four core skills, namely: Jobs-to-Be-Done Thinking, First Principles Analysis, Systems Thinking, and Future-Back Orientation.With these, they are able to:• discard obsolete value propositions instead of optimizing them• reimagine offerings as AI-native, not digital-only• design solutions that assume intelligence, automation, and personalization by default• anticipate how roles, workflows, and markets will reorganize• create discontinuous innovation, not incremental differentiation.
➜ AI rewards innovators who rethink the game, not those who play it better.
THE SOLUTION
Learn how to reinvent, not just improve, in an AI-first world.
The AI-Generation Manager Program:• is an applied, cohort-based journey designed to help innovators develop the creative capabilities required for true AI-first innovation.• replaces solution-first thinking with problem-first clarity• emphasizes future-back design over roadmap-driven iteration• blends guided instruction, hands-on reframing exercises, real-world cases, and a capstone reinvention challenge• ensures participants leave not just with ideas, but with coherent AI-first innovation concepts.
➜ Join the AI-Generation Innovator Program to build the rare capability to reinvent value in an AI-first economy.

A PRIVATE INVITATION
A Strategic Collaboration Opportunity to Equip Leaders for the AI-Generation Workforce
The Critical and Urgent Leadership Skills Gap in the AI Era
Across industries, organizations are re-architecting how work gets done. Companies are being re-engineered from the inside out with AI shifting from the edges to the core of work.AI is no longer an add-on; it is being woven into workflows, decisions, operations, and strategy. Roles, processes, and responsibilities are being redesigned at a pace never seen before.
"An AI-saturated World: AI is infiltrating every workflow, every product, every decision. The questions it raises feel existential: What does “work” even mean when machines perform the thinking? Which functions should be redesigned, augmented, or replaced? For many workers, the line between being augmented and being replaced has never felt thinner.", Harvard Business Review, "How to Lead When Things Feel Increasingly Out of Control", 28 Nov 2025"
Hence, L&D leaders are under increasing pressure today. They are no longer developing a Digitally-Enabled Workforce. We now operate in the AI-Generation Workforce, a super-charged workplace where human workers and digital intelligence co-create work, decisions, and outcomes together.AI is reshaping jobs faster than existing leadership and training programs can keep up.Most managers are learning to use GenAI tools. But very few are learning how to think, decide, innovate, and lead effectively in this hybrid Human-AI environment.This is creating a widening capability gap:
Senior management expecting significant organisation-wide performance gains with GenAI tools
Managers who cannot handle higher cognitive load or produce more creative results
Teams struggling with AI-augmented workflows
Leaders defaulting to old models in a new world
Rising talent risk among mid-level managers
Transformation slowing because decision quality stays flat
Managers who relied on experience, functional expertise, and incremental improvement are finding that these advantages being replicated by AI. Their roles are being rapidly eroded, redefined, or absorbed by AI-supported workflows.Today's leadership and talent development programs are not designed for this paradigm shift from Digitally-Enabled Workforce to AI-Generation Workforce and are thus, not fit-for-purpose.The question for L&D is: How can we develop managers who can rise above AI, not just play catch up to it?
The AI-Generation Manager™ Program
This is a structured capability program specially developed to upskill managers for the shift towards AI-powered environments.AIGM is designed from the ground up for them to acquire advanced cognitive capabilities that AI cannot yet substitute.The program nurtures:
Higher-order strategic, analytical and creative thinking for AI-era decision-making
System-level understanding of ecosystems, organizations and business models
Future-back orientation and transdisciplinary integration for transformation
Jobs-to-done and first principles mindsets for customer intimacy and innovation
Geo-economic fluency and multi-civilizational perspectives for global markets
Moral reasoning to resolve ethical dilemmas created by AI adoption and use cases.
These are skills that complement, not compete with, digital intelligence.AIGM is not a tools course, a prompt engineering workshop, nor a generic leadership program.It is a capability framework specifically designed for managers to thrive in the AI-Generation Workforce.

Why this is Attractive to International Players
This Program is relevant to and timely for leadership development, manager training, and talent consulting firms because:
The demand is cross-border and cross-industry. The need to upskill managers for the AI era is universal, as mainstream AI adoption rapidly cascades across markets and industries.
The category is new, and the need will soon be hot.AI-era managerial capability is becoming a core competency, not a niche interest. Early movers will shape how this category standardizes globally.
The program is ready for immediate deployment on a plug-and-play basis. Partners need only market the program and leave to the principal to deliver the program and manage the logistics.
The public cohorts are extremely scalable in size and convenient for Asian, Mideastern, European and American timezones.
Significant Benefits for International Partners
AIGM is a compelling partnership opportunity for providers to:
Offer a "killer product" for the rapidly emerging hybrid Human-AI Workforce
Complement, refresh, upsell, cross-sell and package with your existing L&D solutions and engagements
Remain relevant and useful to your enterprise clients (B2B) and consumer audience (B2C), by engaging them with a fresh, exciting product
Expand your client base and market with enhanced value proposition
Create another stable revenue stream, with repeated and voluminous sales from same client
Grow your revenue and profit, sustainably and scale-ably, with high margin revenue-shares
If this aligns with the needs of your company and market, let's discuss further.
