What you’ll cover
The programme
- 01
Where AI moves your P&L
Separate hype from value: the use cases that pay back, and how to size them for your industry.
- 02
Governance you’ll be asked about
A working PDPA/AIGE governance posture, data, risk, accountability, before you deploy, not after.
- 03
The monetisation roadmap
A sequenced, costed plan from first pilot to scaled capability, with the metrics a board will track.
- 04
Leading the change
How to fund (HRD Corp), staff and sponsor AI so initiatives survive past the press release.
The question your board will ask
About 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots deliver little or no measurable impact on profit and loss, according to MIT NANDA’s The GenAI Divide report. The board question is no longer whether to invest in AI. It is why your investment will land in the 5% that works.
MIT NANDA, The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025, reported by Fortune
This track gives senior leaders the answer: which use cases move the P&L, what governance PDPA and AIGE require, what data readiness actually costs, and how to fund the roadmap, including HRD Corp.

See AscentLeadership & Executive AI Strategy: FAQ
Is executive AI training HRDC claimable?
Yes. This programme is HRD Corp (HRDF) claimable in Malaysia under SBL/SBL-Khas, and we help you handle the claim so it stays audit-ready.
How is this different from a generic AI keynote?
A keynote informs; this programme produces decisions. Leaders leave with a costed AI roadmap, a governance posture, and the metrics to hold initiatives accountable, built around your own P&L, not generic slides.
Do you cover AI governance and PDPA?
Yes. Governance aligned to PDPA and AIGE is a core module, so leaders can sponsor AI deployment with a clear view of data-protection and risk obligations in Malaysia.
