Executive transformation
Theme 3 · Transformation, Innovation & Leadership
Adoption fails at the top before it fails at the desk. Theme 3 equips the people who decide: the executive who arbitrates AI investment, the PMO that delivers with it, the change leader who has to make it stick.

- The gap is headcount, not method
- The room expects a motivational talk about AI

What this theme becomes on your desk
The syllabus of these three modules comes from the catalogue and does not move. What moves is what the room works on: your incident log, your 100-page report, your dashboard, chosen with you on the 30-minute call. No client is named.
Booking this theme
Standalone Workshop
The 3h20 workshop, interactive, 10 to 12 participants, on site, with use cases from your sector. Nothing to prepare beforehand.
Rapid Assessment + Customised Workshop
Two or three days with your processes first, then the workshop with every exercise built on your own documents and workflows.
Customised Workshop + Video LMS
Everything in option B, plus a 3 to 5 minute micro-learning capsule delivered into your LMS, so the method is still there when the next joiner arrives.
Every module is quoted on request. One 30-minute call, then a written number the same day, with the date held. Larger cohorts, multi-module programmes and Singapore deliveries included.
The person in the room
Every module was designed and delivered by David Daoud, the person who will stand in your room.
22 years before AI training
Transformation and change programmes in tier-1 investment banking across Asia Pacific: HSBC, Société Générale, BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole.
The HSBC mandate
One of the first AI ambassadors appointed for the region. Helped build the upskilling programme behind it, aligning more than 10,000 staff across 10 regulatory jurisdictions.
How a module ends
With an artefact your participants built in the room, on your own documents. Not a certificate, and not slides.
Most recent session
Instructor-led AI training for banking teams in Hong Kong, delivered in June 2026 at a French corporate and investment bank.
Next step
One 30-minute call is enough to say which module fits your room, and whether you need the assessment first. Past sessions are on the YouTube channel if you would rather judge the teaching before you book anything.
