SPEAKING
Adam Scott works with boards, executive teams, workforces and business audiences to make sense of AI, emerging technology and what they mean for organisations, industries and people.
His sessions draw on practical experience, real-world examples and a future-facing perspective to make complex ideas understandable, engaging and relevant, while challenging assumptions about what is changing and what comes next.
AUDIENCES
Speaking can create strategic understanding, build confidence, introduce new ideas or change the way an audience sees what is coming.
Sessions are shaped around the audience, the context and the shift in thinking the event needs to create.
Strategic understanding before important decisions.
Tailored sessions that help leaders understand what is changing in AI, what matters beyond the hype, where opportunities and risks may lie, and what the implications could be for strategy, capability, governance and the organisation.
Confidence and understanding, not hype.
Accessible and engaging sessions that demystify AI, explain what is changing and explore what it could mean for work, skills and jobs, while giving people a practical sense of how they can engage with it.
A broader view of what comes next.
Idea-led presentations that make AI and emerging technology understandable, interesting and enjoyable to explore, while connecting what is happening today with what it could mean for organisations, industries, work and society.
Making sense of change for business leaders.
Business breakfasts, leadership forums and similar events combining accessible education, practical implications and a broader exploration of where AI and emerging technology may be heading.
Adam also contributes to panels, fireside conversations and industry discussions where a practitioner and future-facing perspective is useful.
SIGNATURE PRESENTATION
ChatGPT is extraordinary.
It is also only the beginning.
Most conversations about AI start with ChatGPT, Copilot and the tools people can see. Beyond the Tip of the Iceberg takes audiences beneath the surface to understand the much larger technological shift underway.
From machine learning and generative AI to agents, automation and increasingly capable systems in the physical world, Adam makes the technology understandable through real-world examples of how it is already being used across industries, before exploring what these developments could mean for organisations, work and society.
The point isn't simply to teach people how to use today's AI. It's to help them understand the scale of what is coming.
IDEAS & THEMES
Adam's speaking draws on a connected body of ideas about technology, organisations, work and society, shaped by practical experience and continued exploration of what is changing.
Sessions can be customised around one or more of these themes, the audience and the industry context.
Looking beyond ChatGPT and generative AI to understand the broader technologies, capabilities and systems that make up artificial intelligence.
What changes when AI moves beyond answering and creating into workflows, automation, agents and increasingly autonomous systems.
Why access to powerful technology is only the beginning, and what determines whether possibility becomes sustained value.
Why widespread experimentation and individual productivity do not automatically become meaningful organisational value.
Why organisational information, knowledge and context become increasingly valuable as powerful AI capability becomes widely available.
How roles, workflows and organisations may change as more work is shared between people, AI and increasingly capable autonomous systems.
Why future advantage may increasingly depend on how quickly organisations can learn, absorb new capabilities, distribute knowledge and adapt as technology changes around them.
What changes when capabilities that were once scarce, expensive or difficult to access become widely available through AI.
How increasingly capable AI could reshape work, education, institutions, economic participation and aspects of everyday life.
An ongoing exploration of what is changing across AI and adjacent technologies, what may come next and what it could mean for organisations, industries, work and society.
GROUNDED IN EXPERIENCE
Adam's perspective draws on more than 25 years across technology, transformation, information, major projects and organisational capability.
His current work with organisations brings that experience directly into questions of value, capability, risk and what AI could change next.
Based in Perth, Western Australia, Adam is available for speaking engagements across Australia and internationally.
