    Prompted Intelligence: The Future of Creativity in the Age of AI

    AI is stepping into the creative arena — supporting idea generation, problem solving, and innovation across every role. This keynote explores how professionals can collaborate with AI to stay ahead as tools evolve from analytical to truly creative partners.

    Next Happens Now: Finding Focus in a Technology World That Won’t Slow Down

    In an era of exponential acceleration — from AI breakthroughs to shifting consumer expectations, workplace reinvention, and economic volatility — it’s no longer enough to react to change. This keynote helps leaders decode the signals shaping tomorrow’s landscape and develop the foresight, clarity, and focus needed to lead in the face of constant disruption.

    AI Now, Next, Never

    In this presentation, Ramy tells a story about how AI has shaped the technology landscape of today and what the next 5-10 years might look like as it continues to mature.

    The world is at the cusp of a global transformation that reframes how organizations leverage emerging technology. “AI Now” introduces how Deep learning, advanced analytics, and Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are driving the disruption today.

    The organizations that embrace these tools will be better positioned to outpace and outperform their competitors. “AI Next” helps leaders think strategically about the ROI & business impacts that this technology will drive and how to scale investments from proofs of concepts through to commercialization.

    As powerful as AI is, it’s vital that leaders also consider the risks of working with this technology. Ethical and responsible use of AI is critical for the long-term success of organizations. “AI Never” introduces lines that should never be crossed to ensure the long-term sustainable use of technology.

    From What Is to What If

    Strategic Foresight provides a practical, scalable toolkit for forces & trends and anticipating their longer-term impact to your strategy. A Foresight Mindset empowers teams & leaders to manage risk and confidently make decisions in dynamic and uncertain environments.

    This presentation shines a light on the ways that AI and emerging technologies are sculpting the horizon and equips participants with the mindset and methodologies to turn these insights into strategic advantages.

    The audience will be challenged with thought-provoking scenarios, real-world case studies, and strategic frameworks that empower them to lead with foresight, agility, and confidence in a world where the only constant is change.

    Organizations that adopt a mindset around Strategic Foresight are more resilient to the threats of emerging technology, dynamic operating environments, and increased competitive pressures.
