This talk is for:
Leaders, founders, and teams making consequential decisions in fast-moving, AI-enabled environments.
AI is accelerating decision-making while simultaneously weakening how we think. Leaders are expected to move faster than ever, making higher-stakes calls with less certainty. In this talk, Emily explores how leaders preserve clarity and decision quality when speed, automation, and information overload collide. Drawing on real-world examples from high-stakes, regulated, and fast-moving organizations, she shows where human thinking breaks down, why more information often leads to worse decisions, and how leaders can design systems that strengthen their critical thinking.Emily brings a systems-level lens shaped by work in fast-moving, highly regulated environments where decision quality isn’t theoretical; it has real consequences.
