The problem

Most programs reward the discussion.
You leave with frameworks — not a decision.

When the room is noisy, the stakes are high, and the clock is rude, frameworks freeze. What a senior leader needs is the discipline to read the shock, test options fast, and defend a choice with clarity and calm. This masterclass rewards the call — and the execution that follows it.

Why now

AI as partner — not a gimmick.

This is not an AI-tools course. It is a decision-making course with AI embedded as a partner: you learn when to trust the model, when to challenge it, and how to own the final call. Human-AI decision governance — who decides, who overrides, who owns the outcome. AI recommends; you govern.

The spine

Friction → Interpretation → Execution.

Every session runs the same arc — it opens in the real pressure, moves to the read that matters, and ends in something you can use on Monday.

01
Friction
A live operational shock opens the work.
02
Interpretation
Separate signal from noise; define the decision that matters now.
03
Execution
End in a high-pressure deliverable that travels back to the job.

The shape · six sessions

Each session — one capability, one artifact.

What you leave with

Not admiration. Application.

Who conducts it

Thirty-five years of executive judgment — now in the AI era.

Sandra M. Szwarc, M.Sc. has spent 35 years training senior leaders to decide under pressure — across finance, industry, energy and cross-border operations, in four languages. Future in Progress distils that into a fast, practical entry: judgment, AI, and execution pulling in the same direction.

Where this leads

The fast door into Foundation Leadership.

Future in Progress is the quick, practical entry. If the work lands, it opens into the full Foundation Leadership program — where the same judgment goes deeper, through a journey of the thinkers who mapped systems, complexity, and a world in transition.

Is this an AI tools course?

No. It is a decision-making course with AI embedded as a partner. You leave knowing when to trust a model, when to challenge it, and how to own the final call.

Who is it for?

Senior managers, directors, and executives with real decision ownership — especially those operating across markets, functions, or complex stakeholder environments.

What do I actually leave with?

Six usable artifacts — a turnaround brief, experiment plan, cross-border roadmap, governance matrix, executive pitch — and a personal decision operating system.

When does it run?

The next cohort is mid-August 2026. Small by design.
