I give talks globally on AI, the future of knowledge work, and workplace transformation. I've delivered over 1,000 talks in my career—from intimate executive dinners to keynotes in front of thousands.
What I talk about
My talks focus on the intersection of AI and knowledge work. Current topics include:
The future of knowledge work in the age of AI | How AI is fundamentally changing what it means to be a knowledge worker, and what organizations need to do about it.
The invisible 80% | Why corporate-led AI transformations miss the real opportunity: the judgment, reasoning, and tacit expertise that lives in workers' heads.
The post-application era | What happens when AI dissolves the application layer and work becomes about outcomes, not tools.
Second brains and personal AI systems | How individual workers are building AI-powered knowledge systems, and what this means for enterprise IT and security.
AI agents in the workplace | Why AI agents will operate like human workers, and what that means for security, governance, and infrastructure.
I tailor every talk to the audience. Executive audiences get strategy and implications. Technical audiences get architecture and practical details. Mixed audiences get both.
