Applied AI in Sustainability
Innovation, Business Impact, and Professional Growth
AI is quickly reshaping the business world, the sustainability landscape and the professionals leading it. Our learning program equips forward-looking business leaders, product owners, and current and aspiring sustainability professionals with the applied knowledge and capabilities to harness AI for strategic value and sustainable innovation.
Our engagements are built from curriculums delivered at top organizations and leading graduate programs like Bard College, New York University and the University of Vermont. We blend technical accessibility with business relevance to accelerate sustainable impact through sessions ranging from one-hour keynotes to full and multi-day build sessions.
Let’s Work Together
Our engagements meet organizations where they are, from early AI exposure to hands-on building. Each format includes a pre-session survey, facilitated delivery, a resource microsite, and a 30-day check-in call to support what you build and where your organization is going.
