Think Bigger with AI: How to Fuel Your Best Ideas
Dr. Sheena Iyengar
Professor, Columbia Business School

Many of us want that next great idea, but we often forget an important part: how?
Dr Sheena Iyengar’s “Think Bigger” framework is a six-step method for innovation that helps answer this question. Her work with AI, particularly through her "Choice Mapper" tool, demonstrates how AI can enhance our ability to innovate and make better choices. During this Knowledge Builder workshop, she will explore the intersection of AI and human creativity, showing how each of us can leverage technology to unlock our full potential.
A world expert on choice and decision-making, Sheena’s book The Art of Choosing received the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year and inspired a wildly successful TED Talk. Her subsequent book, Think Bigger, was a Gold Medal Winner of the 2024 Axiom Business Book Award. Sheena has been named a member of Thinkers50, a global ranking of the top 50 management thinkers. he has also given keynotes and consulted for companies including Deloitte, Google, Bloomberg, Blizzard Entertainment, J.P.
