Leading in the age of AI takes more than signing up for the latest tool.
It takes courage, clarity, and a leadership mindset that evolves as fast as the technology. That’s why I created the T.H.R.I.V.E. framework. A practical, human-centred guide to help leaders integrate AI into their work, teams, and thinking.
T – Transformation
Start small. Take incremental steps to weave AI into everyday leadership. From decision-making to communication and strategy.H – Human-Centred
Prioritize what makes us human. Use AI to augment - not replace - your empathy, creativity, and emotional intelligence.R – Risk & Responsibility
You don’t get to delegate accountability to the machine. Own the ethical and practical implications of how AI is used on your team.I – Innovation
Treat AI as a creative partner. Use it to stretch ideas, generate options, and reimagine what's possible, faster than before.V – Value Creation
Focus on tangible wins. Let AI help you deliver clear outcomes that matter at the individual, team, and organizational level.E – Engage & Enable
AI adoption isn’t solo work. Invite your team into the journey. Build fluency, encourage experimentation, and create shared success.
The shift is here. Are your leaders ready?
AI is already reshaping how we work by automating decisions, accelerating communication, and transforming what leadership looks like. But most leaders haven’t been taught how to lead with AI.
Why this matters
AI isn’t just a tech trend. It’s a leadership imperative. Lately - with every AI headline and workplace conversation - a new question creeps in: What will AI mean for how I lead, and for the people I guide?The World Economic Forum predicts 85 million jobs will be disrupted. IBM says 40% of workers will need to reskill. And many companies now view AI as a labor-replacing tool, not a leadership-enhancing one.So you’re left wondering:
Will AI complicate my role, or make it easier?
What parts of my job might become obsolete?
And how can I harness AI to become the most effective leader possible?
Who this is for
Senior and mid-level leaders navigating change
Project managers, scrum masters, people managers, agile leads
Teams preparing for AI initiatives, or already feeling the pressure
Anyone who leads… formally or informally

Hi! I am Klaus
I am the founder and lead instructor behind Leading with AI.For over 15 years, I’ve helped leaders and teams navigate complexity, guide transformation, and thrive in the face of change. First through agile, and now through the fast-moving, high-stakes world of artificial intelligence.I didn’t start in tech. I started in the messy, human world of helping people work better together, make good decisions, and build trust during change. But when I started using AI tools like ChatGPT, I saw something shift:AI wasn’t just a productivity hack. It was a new kind of leadership challenge. One that most leaders weren’t being prepared for.That’s why I created Leading with AI. To help project managers, scrum master, people leaders, and change agents not just stay relevant, but become the kind of leaders this new era demands.So far, my work has reached over half a million learners worldwide. It combines practical tools, grounded ethics, and human-centred thinking.

When you join Klaus’s class, the first thing you notice is the energy. There’s no long lecture or passive slide deck. Instead, you step into an experience that’s interactive, hands-on, and deeply human.
Klaus sets the tone right away. He’s approachable, thoughtful, and makes everyone feel welcome and heard. Even if you’ve never used tools like Miro or ChatGPT before, his guidance makes it easy to jump in and participate. “I was a bit intimidated at first,” one participant shared, “but Klaus had sent out a great overview of the tools, and I was surprised how much we used ChatGPT — and how cleverly we used it.”
You won’t just talk about AI, you’ll use it. From simulating difficult stakeholder conversations to brainstorming creative solutions, you’ll learn how AI can support leadership at every level. One favourite activity? The “Build Your Boss” exercise, where learners create a custom GPT trained to simulate a challenging stakeholder. “It helped me prep for real meetings and sharpened my ability to lead up,” one team manager said.
Throughout the experience, the pace is thoughtful. “We cover a lot of ground, so you really have to stay focused,” one participant said. “But Klaus is so good at switching between reflection, group activities, and individual application that you never feel lost. It’s engaging the whole way through.”
And the results speak for themselves:“This training exceeded my expectations. Klaus did a phenomenal job simplifying complex concepts while encouraging active participation - making the session both impactful and enjoyable.”
