01. A NEW OPERATING MODEL FOR COMPANIES
 

AI starts to work more like a digital workforce. Autonomous agents are already taking on tasks that once required full teams, from customer service to internal operations. Shawn explains what this shift means for how companies are run, how decisions are made, and what leaders need to rethink first.

02. SMALL TEAMS WILL DO MUCH MORE

The real shift isn’t only automation, it’s leverage. With the right AI setup, one person can now produce what entire departments used to. Shawn shows how organizations can scale impact without simply adding headcount, and why this changes what productivity and growth look like.
03. BOLD LEADERSHIP THAN PERFECT TECHNOLOGY
 

Shawn’s key insight is that the future won’t belong to those with the best algorithms, but to those willing to challenge old ways of working. The companies that win will be led by people who combine AI capability with human creativity and courage. His keynote pushes leaders to move beyond safe implementation and actually reimagine what’s possible.
