The Supermanager Journey: AI Leadership Training for the Managers

Develop managers who can redesign work, lead AI-enabled teams and turn your organisation’s AI investment into measurable business performance.

Why AI Transformation Stalls at the Manager Level

Organisations are investing heavily in AI, but technology alone doesn’t change how work gets done. When managers aren’t equipped to redesign work, lead adoption and move AI from experimentation to execution, business value stalls.

95% of AI pilots fail to deliver measurable return. The challenge isn’t simply AI adoption. It’s AI leadership. Managers now need to lead people and AI, and that requires a different kind of manager: a Supermanager.

What is a Supermanager?

A Supermanager is an AI-enabled, human-centred manager who knows how to combine human capability and artificial intelligence to improve the way work gets done. Supermanagers redesign work, lead AI-enabled teams, guide people through change and turn AI opportunities into measurable business outcomes.

They are not simply managers who have learned to use AI tools. They are managers equipped to decide what humans should do, what AI should do, and how the two work together to improve performance.

AI Leadership Development Built for Real Work

Most AI training teaches managers how to use AI tools. AI leadership training goes further: it develops managers who can lead people, redesign work and improve performance in an AI-enabled organisation.

That is what the Supermanager Journey is designed to do.

Developed by Biz Group in partnership with The Josh Bersin Company, the Supermanager Journey combines AI capability, leadership development and workplace application to develop managers who can decide where AI adds value, redesign how humans and AI work together, lead teams through change and turn AI experimentation into measurable business impact.

I think a lot of people are scared about AI, but to hear from someone who's an obvious expert gives us some comfort that it's actually really useful for us and isn't something that we should be scared about.
