  • Becoming Irreplaceable: Thriving in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

    In a world increasingly driven by AI, how do we ensure we remain indispensable? This keynote reveals the Three Competencies of the Future that we urgently need to develop: being Change-Ready to navigate disruption with resilience, AI-Ready to leverage technology while mitigating risks, and Human-Ready to cultivate our uniquely human abilities that no machine can replicate. Explore captivating stories and actionable strategies to enhance your career with AI, guide a future-oriented team, boost your organization, and unleash your unique human potential in this new age.

  • Harnessing AI Agents: The Next Revolution Beyond ChatGPT

    While ChatGPT captured our imagination, a far more powerful revolution is unfolding: AI Agents. These intelligent systems don't just respond to queries—they take action, execute tasks, and learn from experience with minimal human supervision. This keynote cuts through the hype to offer a strategic roadmap for understanding and applying this technology. Learn how organizations have achieved remarkable results with AI agents: processes running 30-90% faster, costs decreasing by 25-40%, and customer satisfaction rising by 20-40%. Discover practical frameworks to identify high-value opportunities and avoid common pitfalls in implementation.

  • Decision intelligence

    According to Harvard Business Review, “a company’s value is the sum of the decisions it makes and executes”. Unfortunately, challenges with decisions have increased in the last decades. According to Gartner, 65% of executives think the decisions they make are more complex than two years ago. In this keynote, I answer the following questions: what is the current state of decision-making in companies? What are the main obstacles? What are the ways to boost decision effectiveness? How have leading companies succeeded in transforming the way decisions are taken, unleashing high benefits?

  • Questions & Answers with Anna, the digital human.

    Anna is a digital person. She was built using machine learning, and I have configured her to support me with this presentation. Anna and I interact together live, creating a unique experience while demonstrating the capabilities of these new technologies. Anna and I discuss the reasons why I built her, her purpose in life, her role in our society, and more. We can also add any other questions or interactions you feel could be interesting to your audience.

    What are the benefits they unleash for people, companies, customers, and society? How have leading organizations been able to harness these technologies at scale, and generate massive efficiency gains in the range of 20 to 60%? How can they save 10+ million lives per year, triple our global budget for education, eliminate hunger, or help protect our planet?
