As universities strive to integrate Generative AI (GenAI) into their operations and curricula, many institutions face a steep and costly learning curve. While new AI-focused study programs and Executive Education offerings are becoming more prevalent, there are fewer successful examples of GenAI being effectively implemented within universities themselves. Early adopters often grapple with the challenges of working with rapidly evolving technology, making the journey to successful integration both complex and demanding. This session will share valuable insights and best practices from a project focused on analyzing the successful implementation of GenAI at leading business schools, offering a unique perspective on the factors that drive both success and failure in this area. Participants will gain practical strategies for developing and implementing GenAI at their own institutions, learning how to take the first steps while avoiding common pitfalls. Whether your institution is just beginning its GenAI journey or seeking to refine its approach, this session offers a roadmap to successful AI integration in the fast-moving landscape of higher education.
