Become an AI Business Evolution® Mentor
AI Business Evolution® Mentor Webinar
Learn how to guide innovation and AI initiatives from stuck pilots to real business impact.
Join this live session to explore the role of the AI Business Evolution® Mentor — and how certified mentors help teams create clarity, validate progress, and move initiatives from ideas to measurable next steps.
A VITAL ROLE IN ORGANIZATIONS
What you’ll learn in the webinar
In this live session, you’ll see why many innovation and AI initiatives get stuck before creating impact — and why organizations need AI Business Evolution® Mentors to bring structure, judgment, and clarity.
- Why innovation and AI initiatives get stuck
Teams often have ideas, tools, and ambition, but initiatives lose focus, lack validated learning, or remain as isolated pilots without becoming business impact. -
Why AI requires more than tools or prompts
Understand why evolving with AI means identifying the right business problem, choosing the right AI approach, and creating the conditions for initiatives to become real impact. - Why teams need mentors, not just more methods
Frameworks and tools matter, but teams also need structured guidance and sound judgment to move through uncertainty. - What the AI Business Evolution® Mentor actually does
How Mentors diagnose blockers, create clearer decisions, and help teams move from assumptions to validated learning and practical next steps. - How AI and Polarix support mentoring practice
How AI can prepare sessions, structure diagnostics, challenge hypotheses, support backlog development, and capture learnings — without replacing human judgment. Polarix acts as an AI-supported companion for Business Evolution® practice — accelerating preparation, reflection, and initiative work while keeping mentoring judgment human. - Who this role is for
Why it is relevant for innovation professionals, consultants, facilitators, intrapreneurs, venture builders, startup mentors, and trainers who guide real initiative work. - What the certification pathway looks like
How the cohort works, what participants can expect, and what the next steps are for those who want to apply.

Meet the mentors behind the certification
Francisco Palao is a recognized entrepreneur, speaker, and international advisor in innovation and corporate evolution. He holds a PhD in Artificial Intelligence (University of Granada), an Executive MBA (IE Business School), and is a Singularity University graduate (NASA Ames, Silicon Valley). He advises leading organizations across industries—including Visa, Black & Decker, Banco Santander, MAPFRE, and HP—and has also supported governments and public administrations such as the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and Andorra.
He is the author of Exponential Transformation and, more recently, Massive Transformative Purpose and Positive Impact, and the creator of the Business Evolution® framework. Today, he leads Evolution Alliance, a global organization focused on helping organizations evolve for positive impact through AI and other exponential technologies, and is a founding partner in AI-based companies such as Oculomex (preventive medicine).
Francisco has launched and led multiple global companies and startups since his first digital venture at 19 (acquired three years later). After completing his PhD in 2005, he launched the University of Granada’s first AI-focused spin-off, and later founded Lean Monitor (acquired by Gust.com in 2014). More recently, he co-founded and served as CEO of OpenExO and ExO Works, delivering corporate transformation projects worldwide. He has received multiple international awards, including MIT’s TR35 recognition.
Jose Tam is a senior digital transformation leader who helps organizations turn technology, innovation, and AI into real operational progress.
With extensive experience in enterprise-scale transformation — including executive responsibility as Digital Transformation Vice President at Softtek — Jose brings a practical lens to one of the biggest challenges in organizations today: moving from strategy and frameworks to execution, adoption, and measurable results.
His work focuses on the point where many transformation efforts get stuck: translating good ideas into shared habits, aligned teams, and consistent progress inside complex organizations.
As a mentor and partner in the Business Evolution® Mentor Certification, Jose brings an execution-first perspective to the program. He will help participants build the mentoring capabilities needed to guide teams from ideas to action, apply Business Evolution® in real organizational contexts, and turn innovation and AI initiatives into tangible next steps.
Oliver Morbach is a Business Evolution® Mentor focused on helping leaders and teams turn innovation and AI initiatives into real business progress.
He brings a practical perspective to one of the biggest challenges in organizations today: moving beyond promising ideas, isolated pilots, and innovation theatre toward initiatives that create measurable impact.
Oliver’s work is built around two convictions. First, teams need clarity, cadence, and validated next steps to move forward. Second, initiatives only scale when leaders create the right conditions around them — the Innovation Habitat.
As a mentor and partner in the Business Evolution® Mentor Certification, Oliver helps participants build the mentoring capabilities to support teams in uncertainty, unblock initiatives, and guide them from definition to action to create real results.
The Mentor certification, from the inside
Business Evolution Mentor is built around three pillars: knowledge, experience, and mindset. You deepen and practice your mastery of the framework, access AI based tools and solutions, and develop the judgment required to guide real initiatives without creating dependency.

“I learned so many things. Actually, Business Evolution is the most complete framework I know so far, Also, I connected with a community of like-minded people and we started a new startup with other team members of my class.”
Cristiane Madureira, Co-founder of FCJ Venture Builder
“I was lucky enough to be selected for the first cohort and in my class we had people from the United States, Canada, Brazil, Italy, India, South Africa, Spain and Vietnam. The program itself was very well structured with theory, case studies and also a real project to mentor. The program exceeded my expectations.”
