AI is not simply a new tool arriving on campuses. It is a stress test, one that is surfacing structural questions in curriculum design, assessment, faculty workflows, and learner expectations that many institutions have deferred for years.

The conversation has moved past "is AI a threat?" Most leaders are now asking what to do and in what order, often without a clear framework for deciding.

This 45-minute webinar uses business education as a concrete, well-developed example to help leaders across verticals think more clearly about what is changing, what is not, and where to act now. 

The pressure Michigan Ross faculty are navigating (how to prepare graduates for industries already shaped by AI, not just informed by it) is the same pressure facing programs in health, law, engineering, and public policy, arriving at different speeds but pointing toward the same underlying challenge.

This is not a survey of tools. It is a conversation about what to prioritize, where the real risks are, and how to move with intention.

What We'll Cover

• Why AI is exposing structural problems in curriculum design, assessment, and faculty workflows that institutions have deferred for years, and what to do about them now
• How learner expectations are shifting, and where community, signaling, and applied learning still hold their value
• What business education reveals about the path ahead for health, law, engineering, and public policy programs
• Where leaders should move with intention, and where to resist overreaction
• You'll leave with a short set of questions to bring back to your institution and pressure-test curriculum, assessment, and faculty workflows against what's actually changing.
