I help three types of clients:

AI Leaders: I help organizations build their “inner game of AI,” developing the practices and skills to lead teams of human and artificial intelligence. (I’m also a certified auditor for the European Union’s AI Act.)

Thought Leaders: I can help bring your ideas to life and your influence to grow.

Strategic Leaders: I work with you on advancing beyond the deceptive messages that hold back your organization.

Thought Leadership and Content Strategy: I can help you position your self with a campaign centered on a book or series of articles, appearances, and media.

AI Advisory for People and Organizations: I help organizations use AI as a true thinking partner, helping you get ready for regulations (EU AI Act) and opportunities that others miss.

Courses: I am conducting a series of Zoom-based seminars that build your skills in AI leadership and thought leadership.

Coaching: My practice starts with two questions: Who is in your Core Group, and who is on your team?

Scenario Planning: Watch for this Fall when NYU students present scenarios for the future of AI.

My own thought leadership: See [Substack link]].

Living Fieldbook for System Leaders: An emerging project with Peter Senge, launching later this year.

Testimonials

  • As a brilliant sculptor can see the statue within the block of marble, so it is with Art and ideas. His expertise and guidance has made me a better thinker and writer.

    Liz Sweigart

  • One thing I've done throughout my career is to seek out people who inspire my thinking. People who challenge conventional wisdom. Stand for something. Say something distinctive. With that in mind I'd like to recognise Art Kleiner. I loved working with Art for many reasons - his ability to reframe an idea into something better, to synthesise complex ideas into a compelling narrative, and dare people to think deeper. A superb author, editor, and management thinker.

  • Art has a unique approach which was extremely helpful to me as a new author, but I think it would help anyone. He saw the book as a whole and quickly identified parts that needed to be moved together to improve flow. He took time to teach me and listen to my thoughts as we went through the sections together. He was able to set aside unneeded phrases and even paragraphs without making me feel like a bad author, if fact he was very encouraging all along the way. My book will be much improved because of Art's professional input.

  • He knows his craft and cares about not just the work but dare I say, the person. He added value beyond the editing of the book. I would recommend for sure.

  • Art was fantastic to work with. His critique of my manuscript from both a business and editorial eye provided me with a new, fresh perspective. He clearly went above and beyond with his feedback and spent all the time needed on a follow up call to clarify and suggest new approaches. I highly recommend working with him as I surely will for my next project or if I need another review of my current one.

    Author of a business novel in progress

  • Art performed a developmental edit on "my near final" I'd had some feedback that the flow was unclear and the book was too long. He gave me a new outline which is definitely clearer and will eliminate several pages of section introductions. He also gave me alot of page by page feedback which will definitely improve the book. I am very happy with his work.
