Are your leaders ready to lead in an AI-powered world? AI is not just a tech challenge, it’s a leadership reckoning. In a time of rapid disruption and human disconnection, the most urgent question isn’t whether to use AI, it’s whether your leaders are prepared to align technology with purpose, strategy, and humanity.
Bestselling author and renowned technologist Faisal Hoque shows audiences why adapting to AI is not just about tools, but about human and organisational transformation. His message is clear: those who transcend legacy thinking, who align people, process, and purpose, will unlock the next level of human and organisational potential.
Faisal Hoque is a globally respected technologist, founder, and innovation advisor whose insights bridge technology, philosophy, and strategy. He has spent the past three decades launching companies, advising the U.S. Department of Defense, and helping executives at global brands unlock sustainable innovation.
His new book, TRANSCEND: Unlocking Humanity in the Age of AI, was named a ‘must-read’ by the Next Big Idea Club and debuted as a USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and Publishers Weekly bestseller. It has been featured by MIT Sloan Management Review, Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Psychology Today, Yahoo Finance, Big Think, CBS, NBC, Fortune, Forbes, and many others. Unlike many AI thought leaders who speak in abstractions, Faisal delivers concrete, adaptable models that show leaders how to start adopting and adapting to AI. His framework, OPEN (Openness, Purpose, Engagement, Navigation) and CARE (Clarity, Awareness, Responsibility, and Ethics), equips leaders to both harness and humanise AI within their organisations. These models are not just theoretical, they are actionable playbooks that help leaders reimagine organisational design, align technology with purpose, and embed responsible innovation across every level of the enterprise.
Faisal brings a rare combination of Silicon Valley tech fluency, Eastern wisdom, and real-world leadership experience for Fortune 500 companies and complex government agencies alike. With an approach that is warm, grounded, and deeply human, he challenges leaders to rise to this unprecedented moment, not with fear, but with purpose and imagination.
AI is no longer coming—it’s here. And while most companies are racing to implement tools, the true competitive edge lies elsewhere: in leadership. In this provocative and practical keynote, Faisal Hoque unpacks what AI truly demands of modern leaders. It’s not just about scaling technology—it’s about scaling consciousness. Faisal reveals...
