Matt O’Neill – Post-Pandemic Life

The future is less predictable than it has ever been, because the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown up challenges in the connected worlds of health, politics, consumer needs and market uncertainty.
There is opportunity, and we explore what this is and where it comes from.

Matt O’Neill – Future of Leadership

Leaders of the future will need new skills and characteristics to propel them forward. That’s because organisations will look entirely different. In this keynote we explore new forms of organizational structure, why brute force analysis should be left to the machines and the human skills we need to develop as leaders and foster in others.
