Future Travel Keynote Speaker:Auto, Rail, Aviation
The Future of Aviation - keynote at ZAL Innovation Forum HamburgThe future of innovation in aviation will be dominated by three words: EMOTION, SPEED and SCALE.
EMOTION: travel has always been driven by emotion, by the deeply rooted human desire to explore, experience, engage. 85% of humanity lives in emerging markets and most have yet to experience their first flight.
SPEED: I am not referring here to supersonic air travel or space travel – both of which will continue to be exotic and unusual for the next 20-30 years. Just look instead at the speed of recovery of airline ticket sales the moment that COVID restrictions relaxed, as I predicted. And this speed is of course driven by emotion. We will also see massive acceleration in speed of innovation in the race towards carbon zero.
SCALE: the investment required to deliver a new world-class passenger aircraft is so vast that only 2-3 companies have the ability to do so. The same applies to massive infrastructure that will soon be needed to carry the world’s aviation fleet towards alternative fuels.
Most board debates about the future of aviation are not about what is going to happen but are about timing...

Leadership, Strategy, Business Ethics - Keynotes
270,000 have watched this leadership keynote to live audience of 4500 executivesI have listened to a huge number of CEO speeches over the years to their global teams at major events, and there is often a problem.
The same for Finance Directors. I was once about to start a leadership programme at one of the world's best known Business Schools and the session immediately before me, to introduce the week, was led by the Finance Director. Just before he entered the room, we had 40 highly energised, highly motivated people, bursting with energy, ideas, initiative and passion.
As that Finance Director began to speak, the energy drained right out of the room. Within a couple of minutes he had lost the audience, many of whom were doing things like emails, WhatsApping friends or researching their next holiday online. It was awful and embarrassing....
So here's another approach in the video above. It's an unscripted 3 minute piece I did without any rehearsals, quite spontaneously, in the middle of a one hour keynote to 4,500 people on how to create highly engaging corporate events. Just to make a point. Tailored for an imaginary global Insurance company - that industry is often attacked in the media by customers for being slow in paying their claims, and fast in making profits.
