  • Thought Leadership

    DAVID ROWAN is in-demand with groups Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, The World Economic Forum, TED Global, Google Zeitgeist, Fortune 100 businesses, and more.

With a breadth of expertise and insider secrets from the world’s tech titans, Rowan reveals how to survive, prosper, and embrace transformation in a world of exponential technologies and what your business can learn from startup thinking.

  • Non-Bullshit Innovation: Radical Ideas from the World’s Smartest Minds

    In this eye-opening, actionable, and engaging talk, DAVID ROWAN takes audiences behind the scenes of the years of travel and research that went into his new book Non-Bullshit Innovation. Rather than innovate through jargon – with talk of change agents and co-creation gurus, ideas portals and webinars, make-a-thons and hackfests, paradigm shifts and pilgrimages to Silicon Valley – he reveals the companies and leaders that are truly and successfully thinking outside the box. From the bank that performs surgery to the country that’s an app store, Rowan’s talk is chock-full of engrossing stories collected on his 20-country journey from Peru to China. Packed with practical tips on radical ways to adapt and thrive in the digital age, Rowan’s talk reveals how to create genuine innovation regardless of your industry.

  • Why this is AI's "Netscape moment" — and what that means for your business

    Netscape transformed what was an obscure academic and governmental hypertext network and opened the door to what became the multi-trillion-dollar internet economy. DAVID ROWAN is convinced this is the Netscape moment in the Artificial Intelligence era: the very beginning of a massive series of disruptive industry upheavals built on AI that will create vast new wealth — and punish any business that underestimates the speed and depth of the shift to the new AI economy. You can already see the signals: from deepfakes, to ChatGPT, to medical AI’s reading patients’ CT scans, and more. So where do we go from here — and how should you prepare? David will translate how AI is being applied today in top university labs and in the most ambitious startups, and help you understand what is about to happen in your industry. Because you can't assume it will be business as normal.

  • Finding Opportunity amid the Crisis

    Technology offers hope for optimism as we enter an era of uncertainty and financial fragility. Here are the growth opportunities — from re• inventing supply chains to building new brand heroes.
