Speaking and writing
Making audiences
think about what
comes next.
Keynotes and moderation on performance, the future of work, and what AI is doing to the way organisations run.
Where the talks have landed.
Motorworld Munich. Datavision in New York and London. Leadership conferences in Cambridge. FuturePrint in Valencia and Geneva. Client events for Canon in the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Panels including the Sustainable Insurance Forum.
Audiences run from manufacturing floor to C-suite, which is deliberate. The same argument has to survive both rooms or it is not worth making.
Themes
Three talks, adapted to the room.
Solid and liquid
Why operating models built for a slower world now sit between the decision and the market, and what to hold steady while everything else adjusts.
Performance under load
What endurance sport, motherhood and a CFO seat have in common, and what each teaches about sustaining output without burning the system down.
AI and the shape of work
What happens when tasks disappear faster than capability is built, and how leaders should govern tools they did not choose.
