COTRUGLI · More than a business school
Research and innovation for leadership in the AI era.
Explore the ideas, people and projects connecting business education with applied AI, leadership research and organisational change.
Start with a business question. Follow it into published work, a practical learning experience or a conversation with our team.
Three ways to explore
Applied AI
From an idea to a working practice
Explore AI agents, organisational readiness and the choices leaders face when bringing AI into business. Follow Dr. Tali Režun’s Chasing Jarvis series and COTRUGLI’s practical learning pathways.
Vanguard Leadership
Judgment when the answer is ambiguous
Explore leadership in the NEO era through the published opening chapters of Vanguard Leadership. TRU offers a public AI demonstration that draws on this work and shows sources behind its responses.
Leadership scholarship
Connect practice with research
The International Leadership Journal provides a route into leadership research, education and practice. Explore its articles, archives and editorial information, or develop an applied research question through COTRUGLI’s DBA.
A connected ecosystem, with clear roles
COlab
A collaborative laboratory connecting COTRUGLI alumni and partners around applied AI, leadership and innovation projects. Its project pages describe the individual concepts and areas of work.
COTRUGLI Tech
Explore the technology side of the COTRUGLI ecosystem, including work around AI agents, accountability and governance. Follow the project’s own documentation for its scope and development status.
AI and Gaming EDIH
A European Digital Innovation Hub supporting digital transformation through AI, gamification, blockchain and IoT. HashNET is listed as a consortium partner, connecting the hub with the wider COTRUGLI technology ecosystem.
For historical project information, see the COTRUGLI EU project record. For the journal’s mission and editorial context, see About the International Leadership Journal.
Leadership decision room
Begin with a dilemma.
In the NEO era, leaders often face several plausible answers. Context, timing and the people affected can change what a responsible decision looks like. These discussion prompts are a starting point for reflection.
AI gives a recommendation. Your team disagrees.
What evidence would make you change your view? Who understands the limits of the model? Identify the person accountable for the decision, the information still missing and a reversible first step.
A promising pilot works. Should you scale it now?
Separate a successful demonstration from organisational readiness. Discuss who will own the process, how people will learn to work with it and what would justify pausing the rollout.
Speed creates an advantage. Trust takes time.
Which parts of the decision can move quickly, and which require a conversation with the people affected? Consider the cost of delay alongside the cost of losing trust.
Explore a leadership dilemma with TRU, drawing on Vanguard Leadership work and showing the sources behind its response.
Turn exploration into a next step
For your own development
Explore AI for business leaders and compare MBA and executive programmes. Vanguard MBA has its own programme page, separate from the Vanguard Leadership reading collection.
For your organisation
AI Office is a three-month engagement covering readiness, prioritised use cases and a 12-month implementation roadmap, with two strategic workshops for leadership.
For a research question
Discuss an applied business research direction, explore the faculty’s interests or ask about collaboration.
