Setting the Stage: The Choices Before Us

Wednesday October 14, 2026 08:45 - 09:00 CEST HILTON GRAND PLACE BRUSSELS

Speaker: Max Mckeown

As AI reshapes the world of work, leaders face choices that extend far beyond replacing tasks -they define human capability. Placed within the context of human progress, this opening session flips the narrative from AI disruption to capability expansion. Dr Max McKeown introduces the concept of SuperSapiens: leaders and teams who combine machine intelligence with human empathy, judgment, and trust. By setting the challenge to build a Strategic High-trust Adaptability Results Kulture (SHARK), this opening frames the vital leadership choices that will unfold across the day.
