Future of AI Keynote Speaker

Is Your Organisation Ready for What Comes Next?

AI is moving beyond individual productivity tools towards agents, automation and AI-enabled ways of working. My Future of AI keynote helps leaders understand what is changing, what it means for their organisation and workforce, and what they should be doing now.

AI READINESS

From AI Adoption to AI Readiness

Most organisations have started experimenting with AI. The bigger question now is whether the organisation itself is ready for what comes next. The next phase of AI will require more than giving employees access to AI tools. Leaders will need to consider:

  • Leadership & strategy
  • People & skills
  • Governance & risk
  • Data & technology
  • Processes & workflows
  • Agents & automation
  • Workforce readiness


The keynote helps audiences understand where these pieces fit together — and why preparing the organisation now matters.

WHAT COMES NEXT

The Shift From AI Tools to AI-Enabled Organisations

AI is moving through several distinct stages. Understanding that progression helps leaders make better decisions about where to invest and what capabilities to build.


AI Assistants

ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude and other tools are already changing how people research, communicate, analyse information and create content.


AI Agents

AI is beginning to move from answering questions to taking actions, completing tasks and coordinating workflows.


Work Redesign

The bigger opportunity is not simply doing existing work faster. It is reconsidering how work should be organised when AI can perform parts of the process.


AI-Native Organisations

Over time, AI will become embedded across workflows, knowledge, decision-making and operating models — changing how organisations are structured and how people work.

A PRACTICAL FUTURE OF AI KEYNOTE

Future-Focused, Without the Hype

There is no shortage of dramatic predictions about artificial intelligence.


My approach is different.


I draw on more than 25 years of technology and digital transformation experience, together with current AI advisory work across New Zealand and Australia, to help audiences separate what is genuinely changing from what is simply noise.


The keynote connects emerging AI capability to the questions leaders actually need to answer:

  • Where will AI create genuine business value?
  • What work will change?
  • What capabilities will our people need?
  • What should we automate — and what should remain human?
  • How do we move quickly without creating unnecessary risk?
  • What should we start doing now?


Every keynote is shaped around the industry, audience and strategic issues most relevant to your event.

FAQs
  • What will my audience take away from the keynote?

    Your audience will leave with a clearer understanding of where AI is heading, how agents and automation may change work, what an AI-ready organisation looks like, and the practical steps leaders can take now to prepare. The aim is clarity and action — not prediction or hype.

  • Can the keynote be customised to our industry and audience?

    Yes. I research your industry, audience and objectives before the event so the examples, trends and implications are relevant to the people in the room. The balance between future trends, workforce impact, governance and business opportunity can also be adjusted.

  • How long is the Future of AI keynote?

    Typically 30–60 minutes, depending on the event format. It can also include Q&A or be combined with an executive briefing or workshop where a deeper discussion would be valuable.
