Before you apply.

What makes the Signature Collection different?

Built from real Scipio & Partners projects, curated with senior McKinsey, BCG and Bain alumni.

The value is in the curation: the right methods, materials and judgement for the responsibilities you hold. Cases, exercises and expert review help you turn that experience into decisions and materials for your own company.

Can I use the materials in my own organisation?

Yes. The working materials are designed for you to adapt to your own transformation efforts. In this programme, you develop: An executive AI agenda and Centre of Excellence blueprint, with working materials for portfolio choices, governance and adoption.

Your invitation will confirm the materials included and the terms for internal use. Redistribution or resale is not included.

How does this compare with consulting?

If your priority is to build your own capability, Signature gives you access to engagement know-how without commissioning a full consulting project. Learn to lead more of the work internally and make sharper decisions about where external expertise is needed.

The programme provides learning, feedback and working materials. A bespoke advisory engagement or delivery team would be a separate service.

Why do I need to apply?

We review your background and any goals or motivation you choose to share to assess programme fit. There is no payment when you apply.

How do intakes work?

We welcome new participants in intakes over time. Apply for access and we will email you when the next intake opens for this programme.

When can I start?

We will confirm the start date, what is included and the fee when we invite you to join. You can then decide whether to take part. Applying does not give you immediate course access.

What does the fee cover?

A six-week guided programme with scheduled feedback. Apply engagement methods to your AI agenda and develop materials you can adapt for your organisation. Your invitation confirms the contributors, timetable and support included. The €5,900 shown is an estimated fee per person. We will confirm what is included, the final price and any applicable taxes before you decide to join.

Will I receive a certificate?

Your invitation will explain what you need to complete, how your work will be assessed and whether the programme includes a certificate. Any Academy certificate is separate from an accredited academic qualification.

Who is behind the Academy?

Scipio & Partners brings together senior experts who are alumni of McKinsey, BCG and Bain to curate the engagement methods, cases and learning materials behind the Signature Collection.
