Resources Specific to Strategy Teaching with AI
- Virtustrat (https://virtustrat.ai/) - Virustrat.ai, is a tool created by Michael Olenick and Peter Zemsky that melds the precision of AI with the wisdom of time-honored strategic tools. It is an interactive tool that links a tried-and-tested strategy toolkit as a plug-in to the generative AI underlying Chat GPT. For workshops, demos, seminars or speaking engagements you can contact info@virtustrat.ai.
- Can GenAI Do Strategy? - This November 23, 2023 Harvard Business Review article written by Michael Olenick and Peter Zemsky presents a classroom experiment that compared a strategy developed by a team of MBA students in the traditional way with one developed using the Virtustrat virtual AI assistant. The results of the two independent processes were largely similar, with the AI-assisted strategy being, if anything, more original. The difference? The students took a week and the AI just 60 minutes.
General AI Teaching Resources
- Wharton Interactive Crash Course: Practical AI for Instructors and Students - In this five-part Crash Course (a set of YouTube videos created in August 2023), Wharton Interactive's Faculty Director Ethan Mollick and Director of Pedagogy Lilach Mollick provide an overview of AI large language models for educators and students. They take a practical approach and explore how the models work, and how to work effectively with each model, weaving in your own expertise. They also show how to use AI to make teaching easier and more effective, with example prompts and guidelines, as well as how students can use AI to improve their learning.
- Wharton Interactive - Teaching With AI - This website offers a number of AI tools including a Leadership Simulation (The Saturn Parable), an Entrepreneurship Game, white papers and sample AI policies for class syllabi.
- How Does AI Impact Education? - Wharton professor Ethan Mollick joins Eric Bradlow, vice dean of Analytics at Wharton, to discuss AI’s impact on education: How is generative AI being used by students? Should teachers embrace AI in the classroom? Their conversation touches on the latest developments in ChatGPT and other generative AI tools, and how they will affect educators and the workforce at large.
