The Room: Human-AI Leadership Circle

The Room: Human-AI Leadership Circle is an experiential learning space set to explore the transformation of authority, identity and decision-making in Human-AI teams and organisations.

AI promises to eliminate tedious, repetitive work, to provide definitive answers and become the perfect advisor, coach and therapist. According to Mental Health UK (link to the report) over 1 in 3 UK adults have used AI to support their mental health and wellbeing and aid them in taking the next steps.

Information about AI is everywhere, but what’s missing is the exploration of what it actually means for those working in the OD and Coaching space and our emotional relationships.

The Tavistock Institute is the home of systems psychodynamics. We create safe spaces for difficult conversations withing a framework that understands there are unconscious forces that shape behaviour in organisations, groups and institutions. 

You are invited to join our high-trust circle to explore and develop the roles we have been given and take up. 

Who is it for?

Participants are invited from a variety of backgrounds:

• Team leaders navigating the past, present and future impacts of AI for themselves and their teams;
• Functional leaders exploring new structures and ways of working;
• Internal or external coaches and OD consultants who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their practice supporting their clients.

What connects participants is not seniority or sector, but a serious interest in understanding what is shifting and a willingness to engage with it thoughtfully. 

The value of The Room

Exploring your lived experience and relationship with AI is stimulated by rich ideas, models, theories and opportunities for live group coaching. 

Through structured dialogue and shared inquiry, the programme surfaces the concerns, tensions, and possibilities that shape how participants relate to AI in their work, much of which remains unexamined in most professional settings. 

The programme creates space for honest conversation about what AI is really doing to how we work, what we fear about it, and where the genuine opportunities are. Things most people are thinking about but rarely get to say out loud.

Participants are encouraged to share examples from their own context, drawing connections between theory, lived experience and the challenges they encounter in practice.

Format

There will be 5 sessions, taking place fortnightly. 

Wednesday evenings 5pm - 7pm. 

This programme is delivered online.
