About this event
We are delighted to welcome a NSA Speaker Hall of Fame member to this months event!
“The Future Is About Competence, Not Credential” – Alan Weiss PhD
Seismic events are shifting traditional beliefs. Populations are declining. “Woke” and “DEI” are in retreat. AI is either Chicken Little or Paul Revere. (My apologies to the British for that example.) Economies are in tumult, from China to Western Europe, from Canada to Australia. Two wars are going to wind down out of sheer exhaustion. Setting strategy over months looking years ahead is ludicrous, more of a gamble than the craps tables.
Therefore, expertise in in dire need in executive suites and on down the line. But consultants are their own worst enemy, concerned with trivia and invalid approaches such as behavioural assessments, “servant leadership,” and 360 degree surveys. The times call for experts, strong brands, evangelistic followers.
If that doesn’t sound like you, than you’d better pay close attention to what I have to say. The dinosaurs ruled for 120 million years, but even they fell prey to space junk.
