10X LEADERSHIP: LEADING WITH VISION AND INCLUSION
Never has it been more important to lead with hope, and with vision. Purpose and Trust are fundamental in guiding strategy through exponential change. This keynote first explores the role of Purpose – how it can provoke moonshot thinking as well as strategy – then moves into inclusion and how every stakeholder might be part of consistent growth. Using case studies and challenges around unexpected convergences, this keynote is fast-paced, thought-provoking and effective.

A BRIGHT GREEN, CIRCULAR ENERGY FUTURE
Sally works as an inventor working at the bleeding edge of renewable technologies, including wave energy, current energy and – her particular passion – affordable green hydrogen. This keynote includes her insights on new battery technology, affordable energy storage options, Circular economy innovations and future directions in transportation and building energy systems. Exploring resilience and decentralized energy solutions, Sally also poses the question: if we have abundant renewable resources for energy generation, can we remove the focus on efficiency and thus serve more people?

Outcomes:
An overview of current research in green hydrogen, wave energy, offshore wind
An overview of current thinking around energy storage options with an emphasis on either circular lithium, or Li alternatives
Insights into designing circular systems at various scales

NEXT GENERATION EXPECTATIONS & BEHAVIORS
Sally works on disruptive digital strategies around next generation expectations with organizations including IKEA, Rockwell Automation, PepsiCO and Citi. Sally is Generation X, with a keen interest in GenerationZ (25 years and under). Sally’s book, EPIC Resilience, has unexpectedly resonated with GenerationZ readers in their 20s, resulting in wide-ranging, first-hand feedback on what these consumers are looking for, and what they expect in a job and in a product or service. Sally’s expertise in GenZ expectations is based on research from around the world, and first-hand feedback and interaction with teenagers and 20-somethings in Latin America, Australia and the USA.

Outcomes:
Insights into the particular demands of GenZ
Exploration of prosumer and co-creation models inside and outside an organization
Concepts for a rich, interactive, online environment serving all generations

FUTURE-FORWARD RESILIENCE
Explores modern resilience as a system for finding opportunity in the chaos of constant change. This keynote covers decentralized systems, exponential systems, co-creative ecosystems and a rethink of how we define work, home, travel and comfort. Examines the convergence of many of the life and business verticals we take for granted, to find opportunity for growth, for new businesses and for new communities.

Outcomes:
Activation of 10X Mindset
A state of play overview of converging life and business verticals
An understanding of how decentralization might look for industries and businesses
Insights into the future of Work and Life at Home
Understanding of how EPIC works as a scalable strategy for confidence, growth and inclusion.

THE 10X HUMAN: RESILIENT, TRANSPARENT, INGENIOUS
This new era of relentless exponential change has left many people feeling powerless, overwhelmed, even inconsequential. In the rush to celebrate 10X technology the human element has been neglected. But in the Singularity, Machine Intelligence is met with Human Ingenuity. Human ingenuity is that unique, underexplored ability that every human brain has to make unexpected connections and imaginative leaps and to delve in the realm of possibility. Human creativity is unparalleled.

Modern business has generally valued knowledge and rational thinking over imagination, possibility and moonshot thinking. As the Fourth Revolution upends traditional business practices around the world, unleashing the creative power of our human capital is the key to consistent growth. The future of work is not prediction and analysis, it is imagination and creation. The future of leadership is not control and hierarchy, it is trust, transparency, and inclusion. Living with relentless change means cultivating the personal resilience, mental and physical, to constantly work at the edge of chaos – and flourish. This new era requires a new way of thinking and a new way of being.

Every person deserves the chance to level up their ingenuity and creativity, and to reignite their curiosity. 10X Humans wielding 10X technology will achieve incredible things.

Outcomes:
Activated 10X Mindset
Optimism
An understanding of how inclusion and innovation will drive growth
An understanding of frugal innovation and prosumer outreach
Best practice in failing forward

Thinking Backward: Backcasting to create cultural change in an organization

THE FUTURE OF.....
As a multi-award-winning inventor, and a futurist, researching and practicing innovation, Sally’s work places her firmly at the convergence of many future-forward industries. She has pioneered plastics innovation, co-created Diversity & Inclusion frameworks, co-hosts TheNextBillionCars, wrote a Circular Green Hydrogen Roadmap for the Caribbean and recently designed a
hydrogen-fuel cell house/vehicle hybrid transporter. Sally adds new information to every keynote to ensure that the content is immediate. Importantly, Sally ensures that her audience understands their active role in creatively envisaging future uses for exponential technologies.

WORKSHOP: FUTURE VISIONING
Future Vision is a custom workshop designed to inspire organizational leaders by teaching them about coming technological disruptions, reframing their mindset about the future of their industry and organization, and guiding them to apply a possibility mindset as they explore moonshots, unexpected convergences and adjacent opportunities created in our rapidly changing world.
This Workshop is fast-paced and full of new, hard thinking, as befits the disruptive era we are
experiencing.

Tools explored, depending on timeframe and desired outcomes, include:

Parkour Inversion, activating a possibility 10X mindset in the participants and devising new disruptive systems
Adjacent Opportunities tool, demonstrates how concepts can be teased out to spot unexpected partnerships, threats and opportunities
ReThinking Lens, showing participants how to think differently around the manipulation of core value. This is a great tool for helping participants understand how every part of their daily work, and the assumptions that go with that, can be mined for future initiatives and innovations. ReThinking also helps increase impact
Moonshot Development Map, a tool for developing moonshot concepts without reducing the scale of vision
EPIC Resilience, a scalable resilience strategy leading with inclusion and innovation.

Outcomes:
Tools and techniques for developing the habit of working in a state of mental bearable discomfort
2-3 Adventurous Thinking tools that are immediately applicable in daily work
Experiencing a possibility 10X mindset, and understanding the advantages this perspective brings to difficult thinking and problem-solving

Options:
A 30-minute debrief session 2-3 days after the workshop to ensure the tools are
sticking
Post-Workshop Consultation to determine how these tools can be structured into existing Organizational Culture to maximize their impact and to maximize consistent growth
Workshop Workbook for post-workshop reflection and ideas-discussion

WORKSHOP: MOONSHOT THINKING
What does it take to lead in an era of unrelenting change? What does it take to become a
dealer in hope when so many people fear these waves of new technology?

Moonshot thinking is the human mind at its best, working in the zone of bearable discomfort to
bring imagination to life. In the words of Astro Teller from Goole Ex, “Making a moonshot is
almost more an exercise in creativity than it is in technology”. This workshop first frees up the
mind by exploring bearable discomfort and possibility thinking, then introduces a range of
exponential technologies through convergence exercises and prompts. 10X technologies
empower us to work at our own mental and physical cutting edge. Man is still the measure of all
things, and the Fourth Revolution heralds a renaissance in human creativity and potential

Tools explored include:

Parkour Inversion, activating a possibility 10X mindset in the participants and devising
new disruptive systems
Adjacent Opportunities tool, used in this case to force unexpected convergences, then to
examine the outcomes for opportunity
Moonshot Development Map, a tool for developing moonshot concepts without reducing
the scale of vision

Options:
Post-Workshop Consultation to determine how these tools can be structured into existing Organizational Culture to maximize their impact and to maximize consistent growth
Workshop Workbook for post-workshop reflection and ideas-discussion
