Strategy Summit 2026: How AI is changing work at the C-level
Strategy Summit 2026: How strategy work with AI functions in practice
In an era where artificial intelligence, data, and automation dominate strategic discussions, one key challenge remains: implementation. Many companies are deeply engaged with strategy – but the path from idea to effective decision often remains unclear. This is precisely where the StrategySummit 2026 comes in, which Christian Underwood presents in the current podcast episode.
Strategic work between aspiration and reality
Strategy is still treated as a theoretical construct in many organizations. Analyses, presentations, and models exist – but concrete application in everyday practice is lacking. The StrategySummit therefore pursues a different approach: away from pure theory and towards practical implementation. The focus is on real-world use cases, concrete tools, and experience reports from companies that actively shape and implement strategy.
AI as a lever for better decisions
A central theme of the summit is the use of artificial intelligence in strategy development. This is not about abstract visions of the future, but about concrete improvements in the decision-making process. Approaches such as "Strategic Decision Intelligence" and the use of Strategy Frame AI demonstrate how technology not only supports strategic work, but fundamentally transforms it. The goal is to make decisions more informed, faster, and more effective.
A format that is deliberately conceived differently
The Strategy Summit is clearly structured: two days, two target groups. One day is aimed at consultants, the other at C-level executives and company representatives. This concept allows content to be tailored specifically to the respective requirements. At the same time, a limited number of participants ensures that the focus remains on exchange – not just the transfer of knowledge.
Practice instead of buzzwords
The program combines keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, and live podcasts. Crucially, it focuses on perspective: not visions or trends, but concrete, practical experience. Topics such as AI-supported strategy processes, organizational development, and market analysis are made tangible through real-world examples. This is complemented by insights from strategy leaders who have already implemented transformations in their companies.
Why this approach is crucial today
Many companies invest in strategy – but achieve too little impact. The reason is rarely a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of implementation. The StrategySummit addresses precisely this problem by understanding strategy as an operational system for better decision-making.
For whom this episode is worthwhile
This podcast episode is aimed at CEOs, strategy managers, and consultants who want to not only plan strategy but also implement it effectively. It offers insights into modern strategy work and shows how technology, methodology, and practice can be combined.
🎧 Listen now and discover how strategy work functions in the age of AI – and why the StrategySummit 2026 sets a new standard for strategic formats.
