Dr Mark Bloomfield's official speaking topics are listed below:
Thinking With AI: The New Leadership Mindset
In this session, Dr. Mark Bloomfield explores the art of thinkingalongside artificial intelligence – using AI in ways that make us more human, not less. Discover how to deploy AI where capacity is most needed, including augmenting your own thinking. You'll explore AI as a voice around the table, not 'the table' itself – a powerful collaborator that sharpens judgement while leaving the decisions firmly with you.
Leveraging The AI Advantage
AI is a capability, not a product. The organisations creating genuine advantage are building the people, structures, culture, and processes to enable it. This energising session with Dr. Mark Bloomfield cuts through the noise with a clear principle: start with the problem, not the technology. You'll leave with practical frameworks for identifying where AI creates real value in your context – and the confidence to act on it.
From Hype To Impact: Making AI Transformation Real
Most AI initiatives stall because they speed up broken processes rather than reimagining how work gets done. In this session, Dr. Mark Bloomfield shares what genuine transformation looks like – running friction audits to strip out bottlenecks, proving value quickly, then scaling with confidence. Drawing on real examples from banking, energy, and government, you'll see how to move from experimentation to lasting impact.
AI-Ready Organisations: Building Capability At Scale
Sustainable AI adoption requires solid foundations: data quality, trust, and explainability. Without them, AI just scales bad decisions faster. In this session, Dr. Mark Bloomfield explores how leading organisations are getting the fundamentals right – redesigning workflows, building collective fluency, and creating cultures where continuous learning
thrives. Ideal for leaders ready to move beyond pilots toward genuine organisational readiness.
AI For Strategic Decision-Making
What if you could test your boldest ideas before committing resources? This session explores how forward-thinking leaders are using AI to simulate before action – de-risking decisions by testing strategies with modelled scenarios and audiences. You'll discover practical approaches for bringing AI into strategic conversations as a trusted thinking partner, helping you navigate complexity with greater clarity and confidence.
