The Adaptability Advantage: How To Lead When Intelligence Is Ubiquitous

About this event

Thursday 3 December. 14:00 London / 16:00 Johannesburg / 09:00 New York. Sixty minutes, live on Zoom.

John Sanei is a futurist and transformation specialist. He has worked with Google, Mastercard, NASA and Singularity University. He has written or co-written 11 books, six of them bestsellers, and Global Gurus Research ranked him in the Top 5 Futurists worldwide for 2025. He created the Adaptable Intelligence Framework.

Colin Iles asks him how to lead when intelligence is everywhere.

We'll dig into:

- Why the world is changing faster than we are, and what that does to leaders

- Success trauma: why expertise becomes a prison and the most successful leaders get stuck

- Today and Tomorrow Teams, and why organisations disrupt themselves with the wrong team

- Why presence and judgement become more valuable as AI commoditises thinking

- The visibility journey: rebuilding identity in public, and how John has used his personal brand

Bring questions. The last stretch is live Q&A.
