StrategySummit 2026: How strategy work with AI actually works in practice
At a time when artificial intelligence, data, and automation dominate the strategic debate, one central challenge remains: execution. Many companies invest heavily in strategy, yet the path from idea to effective decision often stays unclear. That's exactly where the StrategySummit 2026 comes in, which Christian Underwood introduces in this podcast episode.
Strategy work between ambition and reality
In many organizations, strategy is still treated as a theoretical construct. Analyses, presentations, and models are all there, but the concrete application in day-to-day business is missing. The StrategySummit takes a different approach: away from pure theory, toward practical execution. The focus is on real use cases, concrete tools, and firsthand accounts from companies that actively shape and apply strategy.
AI as a lever for better decisions
One central topic at the summit is the use of artificial intelligence in strategy work. This isn't about abstract visions of the future, it's about concrete improvements in the decision-making process. Approaches like "Strategic Decision Intelligence" and the use of Strategy Frame AI show how technology doesn't just support strategy work but fundamentally changes it. The goal: decisions that are better grounded, faster, and more effective.
A format designed to be different
The StrategySummit has a clear structure: two days, two audiences. One day is for consultants, the other for C-level decision-makers and company representatives. This setup makes it possible to tailor the content precisely to each group's needs. At the same time, a limited number of participants keeps the exchange at the center, not just the transfer of knowledge.
Practice instead of buzzwords
The program combines keynotes, workshops, panel discussions, and live podcasts. What matters is the perspective: this isn't about visions or trends, it's about concrete experience from the field. Topics like AI-supported strategy processes, organizational development, and market analysis become tangible through real examples. Adding to that are insights from strategy leaders who have already carried out transformations in their own companies.
Why this approach matters today
Many companies invest in strategy but see too little impact. The reason is rarely a lack of knowledge, it's a lack of execution. The StrategySummit addresses exactly this problem by treating strategy as an operating system for better decisions.
Who this episode is for
This podcast episode is for managing directors, strategy leaders, and consultants who don't just want to plan strategy but execute it effectively. It offers insights into modern strategy work and shows how technology, method, and practice can come together.
