The AI Leadership Narrative Canvas
A half-day immersive for executive teams building the narrative, the alignment, and the decisions that will define how they lead through AI.
In this working session, we bring the research, the frameworks, and the facilitation. Your team brings the context, the questions, and the willingness to build a shared narrative for where you're going — one your leaders can stand behind and your organization can act on.
We provide the research, frameworks, and facilitation. Your team provides the context, questions, and commitment to build a unified narrative, one that your leaders can champion and your organization can execute on.

Leadership is drifting, and that has a cost.
When organizations pursue tools without clear principles, they risk eroding trust, diluting culture, and mistaking automation for advantage. Left unexamined, the systems we build today will shape the opportunities — and limitations — of the next generation.
What we cover:
-
[Module #1 — e.g. "A research-grounded look at where AI is actually reshaping work, and where the hype is outpacing reality"]
-
[Module #2 — e.g. "A guided canvas session where your team builds the narrative for leading through AI in your organization"]
-
[Module #3 — e.g. "Frameworks for leading workforce change with empathy and clarity"]
-
[Module #4 — e.g. "A closing session that translates the canvas into commitments your team will actually keep"]
What you leave with:
- A shared AI leadership narrative your team can stand behind and communicate outward
- A clearer point of view on the decisions in front of you, pressure-tested against research and peer organizations
- Frameworks and artifacts your team can use long after the session ends
- Aligned priorities and a clearer sense of what comes next
Our approach: Academic rigor meets seasoned practitioner
Beyond the Desk brings together academic rigor and Fortune 100 experience to help leaders address what’s actually broken—at the organizational, team, and individual levels. Because sustainable change requires seeing the whole system, not just part of it.
Founded by experienced executive leaders.
Founded by researcher Kelly Monahan and organizational psychologist Kim Fazio, Beyond the Desk brings together the big picture of where work is headed and the practical reality of what it takes to lead through it.
We started Beyond the Desk with a simple belief: the future of work should be designed, not inherited.
Leadership must evolve as fast as technology.
Intention is the most underutilized strategic advantage.
And investing in people is as critical as investing in technology.
Beyond the Desk exists to help leaders turn these beliefs into decisions, behaviors, and outcomes that shape what comes next.
