Keynotes & panels
Most AI talks are written from headlines. Mine are written from Tuesdays, the workshops, sprints and coaching rooms where teams actually wrestle AI into their work. Twenty-eight years of building digital products, a futurist's toolkit, and this week's field stories. In English or French, from Brussels to wherever your audience is.
Four load-bearing themes, each rebuilt for the room it's delivered in. If your event needs something between two of them, that's a conversation, not a problem.
The flagship
Your organisation bought the tools, ran the trainings, wrote the policy, and the leverage isn't showing up. This talk names the gap precisely and shows, with field stories and measured numbers, how teams cross it: real tasks, guided practice, hours returned. The talk audiences describe as "uncomfortable, then energising".

The horizon
Assistants answered questions; agents complete tasks. What genuinely changes when AI executes whole workflows (for your operating model, your junior pipeline, your quality bars) and what remains stubbornly human. Grounded in daily practice with agentic tools, not in vendor futures.
Executive briefings · product & tech audiences
The team lens
When everyone on the team has a tireless copilot, roles quietly deform: the writer becomes an editor, the reviewer becomes a judge of accuracy, the manager becomes a designer of shared prompts. A talk about recomposing teamwork on purpose, before it recomposes itself by accident.

The futurist's toolkit
Between doom scrolls and utopia decks there is a discipline: signals versus noise, S-curves versus headlines, scenarios versus predictions. Two decades of futures thinking compressed into a toolkit your people can reuse on the next wave of news.
Town halls · mixed audiences · public events
45–60 minutes plus Q&A. Custom-built for your sector and moment, never the same deck twice.
90 minutes with your CODIR or board: the content becomes a working conversation about your decisions.
Moderated conversations and podcasts. Direct answers, no hedging; that's why you invite an outside voice.
Rooms I've stood in range from leadership offsites and company town halls to sector conferences and podcasts, for organisations from energy and telecom to retail and public institutions.
