The Future of Leadership: How AI Will Redefine the Role of the Leader

AI is no longer just a back-office tool — it’s rapidly becoming the strategist every leader wishes they had. But here’s the truth: AI won’t replace leaders. It will replace leaders who don’t know how to harness it. In this talk, Richard Godfrey will share how forward-thinking leaders are using AI to: Spot opportunities and risks faster than competitors Uncover the why behind performance, not just the what Make better, faster, more confident decisions with less noise Free themselves from operational firefighting to focus on big-picture strategy Packed with real-world examples from both public and private sectors, this session will reframe how you think about leadership in the age of AI — and show why those who adapt now will dominate the next decade.
