Organizations rarely respond to technology itself, they respond to the mindset they have about it. The same technology can become a breakthrough in one organization and a source of resistance in another. The difference lies in the underlying assumptions and beliefs that often remain unspoken.
In this keynote, Maxime makes those invisible mindsets visible. She explores how beliefs about AI unconsciously influence decision-making, technology adoption, organizational culture, and leadership, while demonstrating how leaders can recognize and reshape these patterns to drive successful change. Grounded in research yet highly practical, the session provides audiences with the language to describe dynamics they have long experienced but never been able to articulate. Participants leave with a new perspective on their organization and a practical framework for approaching technological change more effectively. Rather than telling audiences what to think, this keynote challenges them to think differently.
With new AI models, tools, and breakthroughs emerging almost daily, many leaders and teams feel increasing pressure to "do something with AI." The result is often information overload, uncertainty, and decision paralysis rather than meaningful progress.
In this keynote, Maxime introduces her FOMO 2.0 Framework, a practical approach for moving from chaos to confident action through four stages: Form Your Own Opinion, Organize Conflict, Merge Insights, and Orchestrate for Action. Drawing on real-world examples, she explores what this means for the way we work, collaborate, and make decisions in an era where technology is taking on more tasks and where uniquely human capabilities become increasingly valuable. Participants leave with a practical decision-making framework they can apply immediately within their own organizations, replacing uncertainty with clarity and purposeful action. Expect an engaging keynote that combines energy, structure, and actionable insights.
The fastest way to implement AI poorly is to treat it as a purely technical decision. Every technological choice is ultimately a choice about values: who benefits, who bears the risks, and which assumptions and trade-offs become embedded in our systems.
In this keynote, Maxime demonstrates why responsible technology leadership is not a barrier to innovation it is the foundation for sustainable innovation. Drawing on her European research into responsible leadership and her work at Untangle Lab, she introduces the critical questions every leader should ask when making decisions about AI and emerging technologies. Rather than leaving with a checklist of rules, audiences gain a stronger ethical compass and the confidence to lead meaningful conversations about AI within their organisations. They develop a deeper understanding of how responsible leadership can foster trust, encourage innovation, and create long-term value. Expect clear frameworks, thought-provoking examples, and a compelling invitation to lead where it matters most.
