In an AI-driven world, leadership is more demanding than ever. AI is fundamentally transforming the business landscape, making it crucial for leaders to balance the diverse needs of stakeholders in a complex, time-compressed environment. Effective management now demands deliberate intent, purposeful and ethical leadership, and the responsible use of AI to deliver value. Best intentions alone are not enough.

With over three decades of senior executive leadership experience in Canada and the United States, James Bonar founded the Bonar Institute for Purposeful Leadership Inc. in 2014. The mission of the Bonar Institute is to enhance board and management performance through a focus on purpose in an increasingly AI-centric world. The Bonar Institute defines purposeful leadership as an ethical commitment that principled leaders make to achieve goals that transcend their own interests and those of their organizations.

Purposeful Leadership and Responsible AI together equip management to strategize and make informed decisions amidst volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) legal and regulatory requirements, geopolitical forces, employee needs, customer expectations, and the demands of suppliers and other stakeholders. For some businesses, AI is more than an efficiency tool; it is a critical factor for survival.

The Bonar Institute offers live workshops, digitized modular training, Executive coaching, assessments, consulting and advisory services and more. We can help.
