Live Sessions

Live sessions with Berkeley Haas faculty are an integral part of the curriculum and give you the opportunity to apply emerging trends and strategic considerations for each technology to scenarios that are relevant to your organization.

Live Session 1: Disruption Forces and Logic in the FLP-IT Framework
Embark on a journey into the future of technology by exploring the current trends and forces shaping industries and the digital economy. These include LLMs, generative AI, transformers, AI regulation and policy, and climate change with decarbonization technology and economics. This session goes beyond explaining where the cutting edge lies; it critically examines the evolution of these technologies, from initial hype to mainstream adoption, offering insights on avoiding pitfalls. Learn how to leverage this knowledge to craft future scenarios, guiding future-proof strategies and portfolios.

Live Session 2: Multi-Sided Platform Model
Dive into the dynamics of multi-sided platforms and their business models, the backbone of the cognitive economy where human-to-everything relationships are forged. Understand the network effects and strategic choices driving some of the world's most innovative and highly valued companies. Through an in-depth look at frameworks and a case study on China’s Apollo, Baidu’s autonomous driving platform, this session shows the power, scalability potential, and pitfalls of this design with its various network effects. We then explore strategic steps for deciding whether and how to pivot a traditional linear business model into a platform-driven one.

Live Session 3: Phenomena and Impact in the FLP-IT Framework: Playing the Logic on the Five Forces
Planning for the future requires envisioning various scenarios and understanding their impacts on power and value creation in industries, ecosystems, and supply chains. This session introduces frameworks for using developed logics to create archetype thumbnails of emerging futures in your domains. Apply these concepts to the rise of the decentralized Web3 paradigm built on blockchain and crypto, a disruptive phenomenon that competes with the prevailing dominance of centralized platforms. You will also explore the potential implications of a digital economy that balances Web2 and Web3.

Live Session #4: Triage in the FLP-IT Framework: Portfolio Adjustment
Conclude with an exploration of portfolios and portfolio management at the core of your emerging tech strategies. Learn to create actionable and balanced sets of moves, applications, projects, programs, or investments with varying risk/benefit trade-offs and different time horizons. This session equips you with the tools and mindset to create optionality for your organization by preparing and activating different parts of the portfolio as opportunity horizons evolve. This proactive approach ensures you are ready for disruption, completing your “flip” from chaos to opportunity in the FLP-IT journey.

Note: Live sessions are subject to change.

“AI cuts across other tech and nontech areas and trends. To get to effective readiness, resilience, and ROI assurance, one must view these elements as compounds or clusters rather than independent trends. These clusters change business and operating models, as well as infrastructure layers in organizations. Adopting this perspective allows us to redesign how business leaders transform disruption into innovation and accounts for how technology has and continues to evolve. This program will help leaders detect the undercurrents of disruption in their domains and industries and structure new portfolios of projects and moves. As such, they will understand and practice that AI and emerging tech strategy is just as much about what you do as it is about what you no longer do in order to free up attention and resources for these shifts.”

— Olaf Groth, Professional Faculty Member, UC Berkeley Haas School of Business
