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.
