SYNTHETIC INTELLIGENCE: The Future of AI
The wave of synthetic intelligences like AI is a seminal time for humanity. Digital tools not only aid our ability to learn and make decisions, they can replace us with doing these. This raises many important questions such as, the potential for AI to be sentient and conscious, and how advanced synthetic intelligences will impact humanity and the economy. Scott has been addressing these questions and more for many years and brings thought leading ideas and advice to leaders so they can make good strategic decisions today.
AI (Synthetic Intelligence Topics
Society has spent years reading books and watching movies that paint a dark picture of the impact machine intelligence. We have also hold onto the thought that human intelligence is unique and more advanced than anything computers could ever accomplish. Scott believes there is a much more positive AI future in front of us and this keynote provides both thought leading and practical content that often re-frames how audiences see the future of synthetic intelligence. If you want an inspiring message about the future with AI in it, this is your keynote!
BUILDING A WINNING AI STRATEGY
November of 2022 will always be remembered for the moment AI became a consumer available tool. Generative AI put powerful tools into the hands of the public and this triggered billions of dollars to be invested in ever more powerful AI tools.

Based on feedback from the meeting planner, this keynote can be very specific to an industry or provide general ideas for developing and AI strategy that has a strong ROI for the investments made.
HUMALOGY LEADERSHIP: The Balanced Organization
Scott and FPOV invented the Humalogy ® concept for measuring the integration of human and technology in processes and systems. This model is unique to this day and provides a great vocabulary to discuss the balance of people and digital tools in an organization. Modern leaders must learn to make good decisions on the balance of using human skills and talents vs. the power of digital tools. This keynote opens by sharing this concept with an audience and then is customized to give specific examples for their industry.
The advent of synthetic Intelligences like AI is speeding up the importance of Humalogy® in the workplace and our lives. We must learn to not only co-exist with a technology pervasive world, we must also learn to flourish.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DIGITAL WELLBEING: Corporate & Personal
As people weave more technology into their lives and careers, the negative impacts of digital use must be considered. Digital wellbeing is a topic that leaders and HR professionals must take more responsibility for in the workplace. Each of us as individuals must also understand where boundaries need to be set so we can stay healthy long term. As productive and efficient as technology can help us be, it also has negative impacts people sense but do not always fully recognize.
Scott is a leading thinker on technology use and its impact on our minds and mental health. This content is unique, and audiences are very interested in the concepts delivered and especially the remedies Scott suggests. When doing Q&A with an audience, this topic always creates a vibrant discussion with lots of questions and stories from audience members.
Scott is very versatile in what he can do to help meeting planners. Over the years he has developed new models for delivering everything from panel discussion moderation, breakouts, and interactive workshops. For deeper descriptions of how he puts a unique spin on all of these, read the explanations below:
DYNAMIC PANEL DISCUSSIONS: Scott has developed a new model that freshens up the traditional panel discussion. These are always a hit with the audience, the panel, and the meeting planner!
- Step One – Scott briefs the panel in advance as to how the session will work and be different from others they may have seen. There is an option of picking the panel during the day of the event if the audience lends itself this on the fly organization
- Step Two – Scott develops a list of interesting and challenging questions that are interesting to the audience and fun for the panel to answer. These questions will be asked to the panel and will also be asked of the audience in real time using a cloud based application Scott connects the audience with
- Step Three – When the panel starts Scott stands in the audience and will run the rest of the session while walking around in the audience
- Step Four – Scott introduces the panel quickly so they do not have to introduce themselves. Then Scott polls the audience on the first question and while they are answering, he asks panel members the same question. Once Scott can see the answers from the audience, he uses humor and interesting observations to discuss the audience answers with the panel
- Step Five – While Scott walks through the audience, he takes questions from audience members who are right next to him and will riff these questions or observations with the panel
- Step Six – Once the panelists and audience get into the rhythm of how this highly interactive and fun sessions works, Scott adds a sense of humor and keen insights to keep the discussion lively and rich
- Step Seven – Once the session is over, Scott provides the meeting planner with all the data he has gathered from the audience polling
INTERACTIVE BREAKOUT SESSIONS: It is a common request for Scott to do a keynote and stay to do a more interactive breakout session. A key strength Scott has is doing live Q&A and interacting with an audience so when he plans these sessions with the meeting planner, they design the ratio of content presentation to discussion. In some cases the entire design of the breakout might be Scott asking intriguing questions to the audience just to spur discussions that he then facilitates.
INTERACTIVE LONG-FORM WORKSHOPS: If a meeting planner need is to provide a more educational long form session, Scott has a large content and curriculum base to pull from. He regularly teaches workshops of two, four, eight, and sixteen hours on a handful of digital topics, including:
- AI Leadership Strategic Planning
- High Beam Leadership Planning
- Digital Strategy Roadmap Development
- Digital Wellbeing Processes
- Digital Leadership (training for leaders to be better digital leaders)
EVENT EMCEE: The style of event emcees have leaned toward people using a lot of humor and energy to keep an audience engaged. Scott delivers a more unique recipe for the vibe he creates at an event. Although he does weave in humor and high energy, he also leans on thought provoking questions and interesting discussions with the keynote presenters and industry specialists. This brings a different kind of feel for the emcee role and one that audience members look forward to when he takes the mic.
Scott uses AI tools to create much of the slide art he uses. This can also be customized for the specific audience’s industry as an added bonus. Over the past few years an average of 20% of the audience uses a QR code at the end of his talks to get copies of his slides.
