Innovation in a World of AI
Generative AI and autonomous agents are opening new possibilities for organisations and individuals. The leadership challenge is deciding where to experiment, how to rethink familiar ways of working and what makes human creativity more valuable.
In this keynote, Shawn explores how to challenge the status quo and turn disruption into opportunity. The conversation connects AI with business strategy, culture and the courage to act.
- Reimagining work and business models as AI capabilities expand
- Combining new tools with human creativity and judgement
- Building a culture that supports experimentation and change

For your event
Keynotes are available in person and virtually, with standard sessions running 45–60 minutes. A pre-event briefing helps align the examples and emphasis with your audience, industry and event theme. Shorter sessions, workshops and fireside chats can be discussed with the booking team.
For audiences looking further ahead, AGI and superintelligence raise questions about leadership and the future of work. Separating current capabilities from possible future scenarios keeps those conversations useful and grounded; specific timelines remain uncertain.
