Today there is arguably no topic larger than AI. Matthew has been a thought leader in the field for decades, working for companies including IBM and Microsoft. Since 2015, years before the likes of ChatGPT and MidJourney emerged, he has given a string of keynotes on Generative AI to clients including Accenture, BCG, Bloomberg, the UAE and UK Governments, and many others. In 2018 wrote the book on the technology, and lectured at universities including Carnegie Mellon and UCL, then in 2023 he was the first in the world to write a book using it to raise over $25,000 for charity – while at the same time helping multi-national clients such as AON, EY, and Pepsi implement and understand it.

In this keynote Matthew demystifies the world of AI, discusses what it is and what it isn’t, where the technology is headed, and explores the most exhilarating industry use cases, how we control the technology, its ethics, and how we use it for human and planetary advantage.

This keynote contains the following aspects:

  • AI bias, ethics, and why it will never be safe.
  • Disrupting global industries in a day preparing.
  • Society for exponential change.
  • Strategies for building safer AI.

Leadership in Complex Times

We live in the most complex business environment ever where changing consumer behaviours, regulatory change, and technology led disruption are permanent stalking horses, and as the average CEO tenure time halves today over 40% of CEO’s don’t think their companies will be viable in ten years time.

As a serial entrepreneur and author who’s built and led multi-billion dollar business units for companies including Atos, EMC, and IBM Matthew has extensive experience navigating change and helping leaders succeed against all odds.

In this keynote Matthew gives leaders and their teams examples of how they are being disrupted and outpaced by technology and visionary competitors, opens their eyes and their minds to the new art of the possible, then arms them with the mindset and tools they need to dominate the future.

This keynote contains the following aspects:

  • Building next-gen organisations.
  • Re-imagining your organisation.
  • Future-ready culture, leadership, and strategies.

The Future of Work

Today we are being told that AI will partially or fully automate up to 80% of all jobs, and we’re already seeing highly skilled highly paid jobs that many thought would be immune to automation being disrupted. Robots automated Blue Collar Work, AI is automating White Collar work so it’s no surprise that today governments and individuals alike are more worried about the future than ever before. But there are two sides to every coin. As a leading authority on the future of education, learning, and work Matthew sits on numerous government and multi-national committees and has been credited by several of them as single handedly changing the narrative from one of fear to a story of how technology unlocks limitless human potential.

This keynote contains the following aspects:

  • Everyone’s now an expert at everything.
  • How to outpace and outthink your competition.
  • Unleashing your organization’s human capital.
  • Never make anyone redundant again.
  • The future workforce is W-shaped.
  • Why redundancies are wrong.
