Keynote: Smarter Calls in the Age of AI

Conferences, kick-offs and leadership forums. Rooms of 30 to 300 people who make calls that matter and would rather not find out later which ones were wrong.

Most bad decisions aren't stupid, just human. Smart, experienced people still make the same few predictable mistakes, and experience by and large makes us more confident about them, not less. This keynote shows a room what those mistakes look like up close, using real cases where bias sat behind a costly decision, so people can catch them before they cost anything.

A typical session runs like this.

1. Opening. A quick moment where the room gets something slightly wrong together. It's a gentle way in.
2. Real-world cases. Cases where bias sat behind a costly decision, and the habits that counter them.
3. Bias Scanner walkthrough. Know when to trust the machine: AI makes confident answers cheap. We cover automation bias and a simple test for when to accept, question or overrule an AI recommendation, with a walkthrough of a sample Bias Scanner report.
4. The habits to keep. A handful of practical habits people can take into Monday.
5. Time for questions.

• A sharper eye for bias in themselves, their teams and their AI tools.
• Real cases they'll remember, and the habits that counter them.
• A taste of what a full Decision Day does, if the room wants more.

• Length: 45–60 minutes.
