For over 20 years, Dr. Wing has delivered 500+ keynotes to 5,000 global leaders, focusing on imagineering and futures thinking.
His expertise spans emergent futures thinking, scenario planning, disruptive technologies, business models, company culture, and the future of work. Notably, he converted his car to electric, embodying his commitment to creating the future.
Recognized by CIO magazine as one of the most inspirational leaders shaping the business landscape in 2024, Dr. Wing is also in talks with Penguin Randomhouse to adapt his PhD frameworks into a mainstream book. His pioneering research in Futures Strategy, hailed as avant-garde, introduces innovative frameworks leveraging concepts like Rumsfeld’s Unknown Unknowns and Johari’s Window. This research culminates in the “Future Fitness” score, aiding leaders in future preparedness.
Leadership: success or failure hinges on it. But in a new world where speed, transparency and exponential change are the benchmark - can you calibrate to be a leader in a new generation? As we pivot from "command and control" to distributed business models, so must our leadership.
Consider the rise of nationalism, increased uncertainty and societal change where what used to take 100 days now takes 100 seconds. Have you equipped yourself with new tools to lead with humanness, empathy and imagination? Will you experiment and learn from failure? Can you lead without knowing all the answers?
The fact of the matter is that change has always been obvious; but only some have the courage to act. Those that thrive are those who are able to understand change, and build resilience into their lives and business to deal with these disruptions before everyone else. Perhaps it's evolutionary, as per Charlse Darwin "Those that survived weren't the smartest, or the strongest, but those most adept at change."
These keynotes were created for exactly that: Adapting to a changing world. The lesson here is to provide broad strokes on the interplay between disruptive technology, innovative business models and the role that we, as humans, have in this rapidly evolving world.
As a futurist, people tend to associate my area of expertise with technology only. While that isn't necesarily the case, as an engineer at heart I believe technology can be used to create a better world... or failing to understand may be the counter. I love technology and how you can use it if you know how - I've converted my car to electric and automated parts of my home to be voice controlled, but that's only the beginning of what could be.
How much do you understand the new-new technologies like AI, blockchain, and quantum? The challenge with many disruptions is they tend to be on the periphery and then they are suddenly here. It's the same with technology: even though mobile phones and the Internet have been around for approximately 60 years, it's only in the last 10 years that their effect on our lives have been fundamental. How quickly will Artificial Intelligence be adopted. Or will it be adopted at all?
These keynotes were created using my engineering background to help you understand new technologies, and answer these sorts of questions. In addition, I've used my business background to propose "So what" implications to help you use the knowledge in practical business situations.
What will the future hold? This is a question I am often asked. It really depends - the future is indeterministic and we have the ability to choose the future we want. We don't have to let it happen by chance. However, unlike many tech entrepreneurs who believe the future will be solved by some magical technology, or the naysayers who believe the world is going to be a terrible dystopia - I prefer to bring a balanced view with both the positives and negatives.
The keynotes in this section reflect these choices - whether it's sharing information to make your company a place to call home, and negating the fallacy of "work/life balance", or addressing whether technology will enslave or enhance us. They are specifically created to leave you with more questions than answers, so you can question everything and thus create the future you want... best we address them now rather, than live with the consequences of ignorance.

I've listened to many speakers, experts and specialists but you were so much better than anything I have ever heard. Incredible insights, humour and relevance all grounded in science and incredibly entertaining and uplifting!"
