See keynotes with Chris KutarnaTransformational boards cannot be map takers. They must be map makers. Yet too often, hot topics (Agility, Artificial Intelligence, Future of Work, China…) find their way to the top of the board agenda with insufficient scrutiny of the assumptions, meaning and implications they bring into the boardroom with them.
By interrogating these hidden holes, Chris will help you:
“This can be a profound moment of discovery. Many truths that were once abstract are now plain to see. Truths like:“You are only as strong as your customers. Right now, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to stop, think about what we’re doing, and make big discoveries before we start again. We owe it to ourselves and to everyone who has suffered in this crisis, to seize this opportunity to make the most important discoveries we possibly can, before this moment passes us by.” – Chris Kutarna
By bringing Chris into your organization, he will help your audience to:
“Right now, the most value will be created by those who can seize the current maps that tell us all where to go and how to get there and tear them up and say “They don’t do either of those two things anymore.” Then start searching for the new ones.” – Chris Kutarna
The most value will be destroyed by those who fail to do so. This crisis moment demands we must step back and recognize: The true visionaries today are those people who can see, not the future, but the present, clearer than most.
The vision of the now is full of blind spots. The world is becoming exponentially more complex where strategies to make sense of it are still linear. We live in a moment of chaos and confusion. Transformational people and organizations cannot be map takers. They must be map makers. Chris can help you choose, and achieve, the latter.
Chris blows our minds. Every person afterwards is able to talk about several or all aspects of the presentation with real intensity.
Truly original and thought-provoking. Chris tells us the things we’ve never heard before.
Chris is a remarkable visionary.

Highly engaging, interesting and entertaining. Chris delivered insights on this complex topic in a way that was accessible to our audience of well-informed non-experts. A difficult needle to thread, and Chris succeeded. We all left the room with a better understanding of A.I. technology. More importantly, we left with a better grasp of how to lead our departments through the implications of A.I. adoption. We’ve since received numerous requests from across the Ministry for Chris to help other groups make the same journey.
Outstanding. Rich. Relevant. Unique. Chris gives us a profound sense of 'why'. We work with a lot of inspiring thinkers and innovators but few are able to so effectively capture the attention of our diverse and sometimes divergent audience whilst connecting their individual perspectives to our shared purpose - and he can achieve it all in just 15 minutes.
Enthralling and enlightening. One of the most interesting and thought-provoking keynotes that we make available to our most important global clients. Visionary and very inspiring.
