In the AI age, leaders don’t need to code—but they do need to understand how AI works, how to ask the right questions, and how to lead in a world where algorithms influence strategy.
Unfortunately, many executive teams in the GCC still see AI as a “tech issue” handled by IT. This mindset is outdated—and risky.
Why AI literacy matters for leadership:
Understand the risks and opportunities of AI tools
Drive responsible adoption aligned with organizational values
Challenge vendor solutions and avoid black-box implementations
Integrate AI into strategic thinking, not just operations
At Sharef & Co., we’ve developed AI literacy programs specifically for senior leaders and board members:
AI for Decision-Makers
Demystifying concepts like NLP, machine learning, and ethics
AI in Strategy Labs
Exploring case studies from GCC public and private sectors
Risk & Governance Simulations
Understanding what can go wrong—and how to prevent it
Leadership Self-Assessments
Measuring AI readiness and confidence
Example:
A Saudi holding group ran our 3-day AI leadership module with its C-suite. By week 2, they had restructured their innovation roadmap and started piloting AI in finance and HR.
AI literacy isn’t about being technical—it’s about being strategically prepared.
