.What you'll gain

Modern Leaders are builders.

Modern Leaders are builders.

You become irreplaceable when you inspire a clear, ambitious vision. Evaluate and weight multiple strategic scenarios. Design cross-functional team structures that focus on outcomes. Disrupt how we ensure value creation. That is exactly what this program will do.

Sharpening the challenge

We will evaluate and pressure-test your business challenge or initiative. You will acquire two effective frameworks for evaluating, prioritizing, and scoring future projects. We will then use a custom agent to consolidate our proof of concept.

From Vision to Reality

We will translate your project into a vision that your team and stakeholders can align on at a glance. We will use a three-part framework to articulate the project's purpose, define the change in status, and crystallize the project's mission with absolute precision. We will use a custom agent to create alternative versions and different TOV.

Redefining Strategy

We use two powerful future foresight frameworks to redefine what strategy means. Turn vague goals, desires, and ambitions into real, concrete, actionable possibilities. We will then evaluate which skill & technologies to leverage and how to allocate our time & resources. We will let AI do the math while we focus on the context.

Teams & Playgrounds

We will design the team your project needs — not the one you inherited. We will map roles to outcomes using Critical Success Factors. Identify which playgrounds each player will preside. We will then deploy AI agents that multiply output and assign decision rights, keeping your team flexible and agile.

Delivering Value

Even the most ambitious and exciting project is useless if it doesn't deliver value. We will build a value-delivery system that links every action to a measurable business outcome. We will install a system that maps where value is created and where it is lost. Specific on metrics, specific on actions.

From Plan to Momentum

We'll consolidate everything you've built — vision, strategy, team model, value map into a single roadmap. You'll present it to the cohort, get expert feedback, and leave with a 90-day execution plan plus access to monthly office hours to keep momentum.

Not everyone is a right fit for this program.


This is for you if:

→ You have a project or initiative sitting on your desk that should have launched months ago

→ You're planning your next move — a promotion, a pivot, or something you want to build — and you need a system, not just a plan

→ You want to finally launch that product, campaign, or idea you've been carrying around in your head

→ You're ready to build your own AI-augmented team and stop doing alone what a system could do for you

→ You're tired of being accountable for outcomes shaped by decisions made above you, around you, and without you

→ You're willing to invest four focused weeks on your actual challenge — not a simulation, not a case study

This program is the result of 20+ years of experience in innovation, design, and higher education.

Innovation seldom sparks by chance or from a single bright idea. But rather from example experience, and practice.— GLC

We only accept applications that will match our criteria. If Week 1 doesn't deliver, full refund. No questions.

FAQs

I don't have time for another program.

4 live sessions + ~5h of micro-learning. Total:20–25 hours over 4 weeks. This isn't a program you fit around your work — it is your work. You bring a real challenge. Every session moves it forward.

Is this an AI course?

No. AI is the context, not the curriculum. This is about the human capabilities that become more valuable as AI handles everything else.

Is it worth the investment?

If your project produces a 10% revenue impact on a $10M business, that's $1M. The program isn't priced at $1M.

Who runs this?

Gianluca Cinquepalmi. 25 years at Microsoft, Amex, Disney, Toyota, Chanel, Four Seasons. Two bestselling books. Former Chair at SCAD Hong Kong.

What happens after 4 weeks?

Bi-weekly office hours, quarterly cohort meetups, and access to the community. You leave with enough structure to keep going on your own.

Can I bring my team into this?

es — and you probably should. The best results happen when a leader goes through this with 2–3 key people from their team. Why? Because you're not just learning concepts — you're building real strategic assets together.

What do I actually walk away with?

Four AI-powered frameworks that you can deploy on any future design project. 1. **Clarify your design vision, mission, and purpose.** So you can confidently sell your initiative, align your team and stakeholders around a clear design direction. This makes you undeniable. 2. **Craft a future-proof design strategy.** A framework to evaluate multiple paths, identify where design has the most leverage, and engineer a roadmap that survives org changes. This makes you antifragile — flexible and fast when conditions shift. 3. **Build your ideal design team model.** The future is agentic and AI-augmented. Learn to leverage AI outputs with human design judgment and adaptation. This makes you a multiplier — doing more with less. 4. **Build a value delivery system for design tied to actual business outcomes.** You know exactly where design creates value and where it gets diluted. This makes you sharp — specific on metrics, specific on actions. These aren't slides. These aren't frameworks you *"might use someday."* They're practices you build *during* the program, on *your* challenge, ready to implement the Monday after we finish.
