Futurist keynote speaker & advisor to Heads of State, boards and global CEOs.

If you've found your way here, something has probably landed on your desk. A decision about AI. A board asking harder questions. A workforce that needs to change faster than it knows how. You're not looking for another opinion. You're looking for someone who's done this. I'm Dr. Kate Barker. For 30 years, I've advised heads of state, boards and global chief executives on what's coming and what to do about it. I helped build a city designed for 2050. I've prepared workforces of millions for work that doesn't exist yet. And I did my doctorate on what AI actually does to the people who use it. 6,000 executives. Here's what all of it taught me. The technology is not the hard part. The hard part is everything around it. How a board governs what it can't fully see. Where you place the money and when. Which skills you build now before you need them. What your people become while the machines get better every month. That's my work. The whole decision, not just the technical one. Sometimes it happens on a stage in front of 2,000 people. Sometimes in your boardroom with the doors closed. Sometimes it's just the two of us. The ways in are right below this video. My book is called Hidden Power. It's out on the 1st of March. And I'll tell you now how it ends. Because 30 years in these rooms comes down to one line. The technology was never the difference. We are.
