Phronetic leadership wins Best Paper at DIGEST 2026
Notes from DIGEST 2026 in Sheffield, where my paper on practical wisdom and generative AI won Best Paper in Track 3.
At DIGEST 2026 at Sheffield Business School, I presented “Phronetic Leadership: A Virtue Ethics Approach to Strategic Decision-Making with Generative AI”, spoke on the panel, and was honoured to receive the Best Paper Award for Track 3, Inclusion, Equity and Digital Justice.
The idea in three disciplines
The paper draws on Aristotle’s phronesis, practical wisdom, and proposes three disciplines for leaders who work with generative AI: own the judgement, pause before commitment, and stand behind the choice.
Thank you to the organisers, reviewers and everyone who joined the discussion. My post about the award.
