Helping leaders rethink work in the age of AI
Artificial intelligence is changing far more than the technology we use.
It is changing how organisations work, how decisions are made, and what will become most valuable about human expertise in the years ahead.
My talks help leaders move beyond AI hype to explore the bigger questions facing organisations today.
Rather than asking “What can AI do?”, I encourage audiences to ask:
- Where can AI create genuine organisational value?
- Which work should AI perform and what should remain human-led?
- How should organisations redesign work for the AI era?
- What capabilities will leaders and organisations need next?
- How can AI be adopted responsibly and with confidence?
Every session combines practical examples, strategic insight and real-world experience, helping audiences understand not only what AI can do, but how organisations should respond.
Speaking formats
Every organisation is at a different stage of its AI journey, so each session is tailored to the audience.
1 – Keynote Presentations
Designed for conferences, leadership events and professional associations.
My keynotes explore how AI is reshaping professional work and what this means for leadership, organisational capability and the future of knowledge work.
Participants leave with:
- a clearer understanding of where AI creates genuine value
- practical examples and emerging practice
- new ways of thinking about work, leadership and decision-making
- greater confidence to lead AI conversations within their organisations.
Available in person and online.
2 – Executive Briefings
Designed for boards, executive teams and senior leaders.
These interactive sessions provide an independent perspective on the strategic decisions organisations need to make as AI becomes part of everyday professional work.
Common themes include:
- organisational readiness
- AI strategy and governance
- workflow redesign
- AI agents and changing roles
- leadership priorities
- capability development
- emerging opportunities and risks.
3 – Workshops and Masterclasses
Interactive sessions for leadership teams, professional services and organisational development programmes.
Depending on your objectives, sessions may include:
- practical AI use cases
- workflow redesign
- responsible AI adoption
- facilitated discussion
- audience Q&A
- practical frameworks for evaluating AI opportunities.
The focus is not simply understanding AI but understanding how work is changing.
My perspective
Many AI presentations focus on tools. Mine focus on work.
I believe the most important question organisations face is not “Which AI platform should we use?” but it is “How should work evolve when AI becomes part of everyday professional life?” That perspective shapes every keynote, executive briefing and workshop. My aim is not to predict the future but it is to help organisations prepare for it.
Selected speaking engagements
Anna has spoken at conferences, leadership events and professional programmes across the UK and internationally, including:
- Universities UK
- ARMA Annual Conference
- INORMS Congress.
Her work has also been featured in Research Professional News, ARMA Insights, scientifyRESEARCH and the LSE Impact Blog.
Looking for practical support?
Many organisations invite Anna to speak before exploring how AI could be applied within their own organisation.
The next step is often an AI Workflow Audit or Executive Advisory, helping leadership teams identify where AI can create meaningful value and how work should evolve.
Whether you are planning a conference, executive retreat, leadership event or organisational learning programme, I would be delighted to discuss how I can contribute.
Together we can create a session that helps your audience think more clearly about AI, leadership and the future of professional work.
