To prevail in the age of AI, we need to evidence-based practices.

Based on the decades of research that his book, Cascades, Greg Satell, one of today’s foremost experts on transformation and change, will show how you can build an effective change strategy, avoid the pitfalls and thrive in the age of AI like you never have before!

Of course, there isn't one, but Mr. Satell gave us a valuable perspective and a framework for employing it as bar associations adapt to important changes in the legal profession. We would not otherwise have gotten this perspective on transformational change from within our industry. Just as he's done in writing for HBR, Forbes, and other publications, he brought fresh eyes and a clear voice as a great plenary speaker for the National Association of Bar Executives (NABE)."

This is a great way to emphasize the power of networking and social media."

"We had the pleasure of hosting Greg for the Falak Unreasonable Thinking Summit here in Bahrain. This is a two-day summit on innovation, disruption and "unreasonable thinking".

"Greg ran a workshop for executives in the MS Technology Management Program at Columbia University, for the course I am teaching on Strategic Advocacy. Students loved the session, where Greg quickly and clearly demonstrated, including the class' hands-on participation, how the same theories enabling transformational social and political movements to take hold are relevant to leaders seeking to transform any enterprise. He brings a fresh, out of the box perspective on a topic sorely in need of rethinking — how to create positive change at scale."

"Our aim was to establish an outside-in focus and transformational mindset for our leadership team planning summit. Greg delivered that with compelling stories, practical examples and useful models that the team was able to apply throughout the entire session. He spent prep time tailoring his content to the objectives of our summit, which resulted in his session folding seamlessly into the remaining sessions of the summit."

Practical examples and techniques shared by Greg in this engaging presentation were well received by a large and diverse Maximus audience. We are grateful to Greg Satell for sharing his valuable experience and strategies for de-risking innovation with our team. Thank you, Greg Satell!"
