BUILDING BETTER BOARDS Generative AI in Education: A Strategic Foresight Exercisewith Eric Hudson, Facilitator and Strategic Advisor to Independent Schools, Learning on Purpose
Wednesday, February 4, 2026
12:00-1:30 PM PT
1:00-2:30 PM MT
Session Description
This workshop uses principles of strategic foresight to help board members and school leaders imagine multiple, plausible futures that their schools could face in an AI world. Following an update on the current state of generative AI and its impact on education, participants will be moved into small discussion groups. Each group will be provided a design brief and resources that will help them paint a picture of a “plausible future” for what the school will look like in 2050. Groups will consider both external factors like current research and data on AI and internal factors like a school’s mission, strategy, and market. The groups are encouraged to use generative AI as an assistant in developing their ideas. The session ends with short presentations from each group.

Series Overview
In this series of workshops, attendees will explore the role of trustee, and provide a space for board members to learn from national thought leaders, experienced board chairs, heads of school and association leadership.
Offered throughout the year, each workshop has a theme for board improvement and actionable steps to move your school forward. Previously this workshop was recommended for those new to the role, but feedback was that it was universally valuable. All independent school board members are encouraged to attend.
