Keynotes & Workshops

Four sessions on AI, judgement and organisational competence - delivered in English, German, Spanish or French.

Signature keynote

The Offloaded Mind: Why AI Makes Us Faster, Not Smarter

Organisations are measuring AI adoption while quietly losing the ability to evaluate what AI produces. Drawing on my doctoral research and implementation work with 60+ companies, this session shows where cognitive offloading creates leverage and where it erodes the expertise a business depends on - and gives audiences a way to distinguish the two.

Formats: 45, 60 or 90 minutes
Audience: Leadership teams, conferences, professional associations

From Copilot to Agent: What Changes When AI Stops Answering and Starts Acting

The shift from chat interfaces to autonomous agents is a structural change, not a feature update. This session explains what agentic AI means in operational terms, which platforms are reshaping the market, and what changes for process design, accountability and leadership - built on current implementation work, including projects for SAP and Zumtobel.

Formats: 45 or 60 minutes
Audience: Executive teams, technology and operations leadership

The Competence Gap: Building an AI-Literate Organisation

Most AI training teaches tools. Tools change every quarter, competence does not. This session presents a three-pillar model developed across 60+ mandates: data literacy, structured dialogue with machines, and verification of machine output - including the CRAP test now used in companies and universities across Europe.

Formats: 60 or 90 min keynote, half or full day workshop
Audience: Whole workforces, HR and L&D, universities

Sovereign by Design: Europe's AI Dependency and What to Do About It

European organisations are building critical processes on infrastructure they neither own nor govern. This session examines the dependency in concrete terms - from data residency and EU AI Act exposure to what European alternatives actually exist and where they fall short. Strategic rather than political, ending in decisions rather than warnings.

Formats: 45 or 60 minutes
Audience: European conferences, public sector, regulated industries, boards
