Leadership & Advisory Network
Academics, practitioners, and industry leaders building the future of education together.
ZAI programs are shaped by a network of executives, scholars, and practitioners from the world’s leading organizations and universities. They guide curriculum, mentor participants, and connect learning to real-world impact.
We exist to turn intelligence into measurable progress.
“The greatest untapped resource in education is not technology. It is the connection between university leadership and industry leadership.”ZAI Institute Founding Principle
The Board
The executives and academics who advise the institute.
A board of named senior operators and academics advises the institute itself. They sit above the advisory boards that run across our university partner programs, guiding research direction, curriculum standards, capstone evaluation, and the connection between academic work and the employers who hire graduates.
The Advisory Board meets quarterly and contributes throughout the year through curriculum review, capstone evaluations, panel participation, and informal peer briefings with cohort participants.
The Board does not approve research findings or program syllabi. It informs them. What the institute publishes is aggregated and de-identified. No finding is attributed to a member or their company by name.
