Peter W. Singer Speaking Topics

  • Strategic Narrative: How to Use The Power of a Story Well Told

    How do we better share new ideas and influence target audiences? How do we better understand and prepare for the future? How do we comprehend new trends and technologies? One answer may be to enlist the power of the oldest communication technology of all –story. Described in the Wall Street Journal as “the premier futurist in the national-security environment,” P.W. Singer is a best-selling author of both nonfiction and fiction, whose work at the intersection of strategic foresight, discovery, and narrative has been featured in media like The Economist and Wired. He is also the founder of Useful Fiction LLC, a company that aids organizations in “telling their story” more effectively. Having worked for groups that range from the US military and CIA to Hollywood and the most popular video game in history, he will explain the “why” of narrative and “how” best to tell a useful story.

  • AI: What Do Leaders Need to Know?

    No sector of the economy, government, or society is being left untransformed by artificial intelligence (AI). However, as potentially powerful and useful as AI might be , the technology is also driving a new wave of challenges and demands that cut across strategy, policy, technology, ethics, and law. 

    Gaining a deeper insight into AI is therefore a new “need to know” for leaders and their teams, who are being asked to harness its transformational benefits responsibly while mitigating profound risks. 

    A New York Times bestselling author who teaches executive education for U.S. military generals will provide leaders with essential insights needed to better navigate the complex landscape of AI, from key terms and concepts to the challenges every organization must now face.
