Stand out as an AI Strategist + Builder
Most leaders can strategize or build. Almost no one does both. In one intensive, become the rare exception, with a Certificate of Completion from Harvard Data Science Initiative and the titles to back it. Delivered in Spanish.

Most people are a strategist or a builder. Almost no one is both.
The people who set the agentic AI direction usually cannot build it. The people who can build rarely own the strategy. So strategy stalls in a slide deck, and builds solve the wrong problem. The person who closes that gap, who can decide what is worth building and then ship it, is who leadership actually needs and almost never has. By the end of this intensive, that person is you.
Two titles. One intensive. One certificate with your name on it.
This is not a course you watch and forget. You leave able to do both halves of the job, with a Certificate of Completion from Harvard Data Science Initiative that says so, on your profile, in the room, and to the people who decide what you work on next.
& Builder
has completed the AI Strategist & Builder Intensive, designing an agentic AI strategy and building a working prototype.
Apply the A.G.E.N.T. framework to your own organization. Identify the highest-value workflow, set scope and governance, and judge any agentic AI proposal on its merits rather than its hype.
Configure a working prototype against your real systems. Test the failure modes, document the build, and walk into the room with something that runs, not something you hope to run.
And two digital badges, one for each title you earn, ready for your LinkedIn profile.
You build alongside the people who own the AI question.
Past cohorts run from senior managers, directors and VPs to C-suite leaders and independent consultants — the people their organization, or their clients, turn to when the AI question lands on the table. Several of the strongest builds have come from non-technical leaders, so a technical background is welcome but not required.
The best executive course I have ever attended. Truly transformative.
I joined after my first Agentic AI intensive to build the project I started. With each session my confidence in both the tools and myself increased. The project I have been able to create, through the class and Claude Cowork, has been truly amazing.
For a senior executive and advisor, it is the right balance of in-depth knowledge and true practical application to inform decision making at the executive or board level.
It teaches you where AI can create genuine strategic advantage versus expensive automation.
I walked away with a real framework, not just concepts. A genuine expansion of what I thought AI could do operationally.
Coming from a non-technical background, I now have a complete AI strategy finalized in a fraction of the time I expected.
One of the best courses I have taken.
Strategy first. Then a working prototype.

The first half makes you a strategist. The second half makes you a builder. The program co-chairs open and close the strategy phase and close the intensive; the build phase adds live sessions on tooling and debugging, plus office hours every Wednesday.
Or with whatever tool already sits in your organization's tech stack — you build on what your team actually uses, not on whatever the course happens to teach.
Already done the Agentic AI Intensive?
Then you've already completed the first half of this intensive. Agentic AI is a standalone intensive and also a shared component of AI Strategist and Builder: you have already designed your agentic workflow, and what comes next is building it.
You can repeat Phase 1 to restart, recap or refine your strategy, or join at the midpoint and build what you already designed. Either way, at a special past-participant rate: US$450.
You leave with evidence you can show.
Who leads it, and who builds alongside you.

Educated at the Universidad de Chile and the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, with a PhD in Statistics from Wharton. Fellow of the American Statistical Association. His research develops methods for understanding cause and effect in health and public policy. He opens and closes the strategy phase, and closes the intensive alongside Dr. Paredes.
Educated at the Universidad de Lima, with a PhD from MIT and Harvard Business School's General Management Program. An AI Fund Fellow, he has led AI and data science at major companies in Peru. He co-edits Harvard Data Science Review's Active Industrial Learning column, which connects data science to business practice.
A computer scientist by training, with a PhD from EPFL's ML4ED lab under Tanja Käser. She builds learning systems that model what students actually do, and make those models legible enough for a teacher to act on.
Her live sessions: technology stack decisions · how to debug your agents. She also runs the weekly office hours, where she works through your prototype with you.
A live program, supported in Spanish from start to finish.
You work with Harvard Data Science Review board members and authors, and every touchpoint of the program is available in Spanish.
