How corporates can prolong their expiration date
How corporates can prolong their expiration date
Many companies are driving forward on autopilot: comfortable, established but, slowly becoming irrelevant. This keynote holds up a mirror to the dangerous complacency that’s taken hold in too many boardrooms. It challenges leaders to stop masking symptoms of decline with surface-level fixes, and start asking the harder questions: Are we still truly relevant? Are we ready to reinvent? Or are we just cruising… waiting to break down?

Relevance Is a Moving Target
Irrelevance creeps in slowly. A lost sense of urgency. A few key people leave. Innovation stalls. Decision-making gets sluggish. Marketing feels outdated. Talent disengages. You still hit your targets, for now. But under the surface, momentum is bleeding out. Most companies don’t crash. They fade. And by the time the alarm bells ring loud enough, it’s often too late to steer out of the skid.
Staying relevant means choosing discomfort over denial. It means being brutally honest about where you’re coasting, where you’re stuck, and what you’re pretending not to see. Reinvention isn’t a single initiative, it’s a mindset! Future-fit companies are not the ones that have all the answers. They’re the ones asking better questions, faster. This keynote gives you the tools, the language, and the lens to do exactly that.

Common Red Flags
Your innovation feels more like iteration
People are busy, but no one is thinking critically
Your top talent is leaving or 'quiet quitting'.
You preach 'change', but reward staying the same
