Let's talk about your event Book a 15-min call

A keynote about decision-making, risk management, and the place of humans alongside artificial intelligence.

When the world's 100 best poker players faced the machine, and lost, they learned a lesson that applies to every company in transformation: AI gives you the state of the art, but it can neither understand you nor decide for you.

Participants leave with a concrete four-step decision model, Learn, Reason, Decide, Relearn, applicable the very next day.

Key takeaways

  1. 1

    The quality of a decision ≠ its immediate outcome (tool: Sklansky Dollars)

Frequently asked questions.

What formats do you offer?

From a thirty-minute keynote to a full ninety-minute conference, plus workshops. The format follows the moment in your programme: a short keynote opens a convention well, a longer format suits an executive seminar where you want the room to work.

What budget should we plan for?

A talk usually falls between five and fifteen thousand euros, depending on length, format, location and how much tailoring is involved. Tell me your constraints and I will tell you straight away whether it works.

Do you speak in English?

Yes, all three keynotes exist in French and English. The live experiments with the audience work in both languages.

Is the content adapted to our industry?

Always. A thirty-minute call beforehand covers your context, your current challenges and the vocabulary your teams use. Examples and demonstrations are then chosen to speak to your room, while the structure stays the same.
