WHO RISES NOW — BUSINESS AND LEADERSHIP AUDIENCES

Custom quote
Starting at $15,000
Keynote

Most AI conversations ask what the technology can do. Who Rises Now asks what happens to the company when intelligence and execution become abundant.

Across five shifts, Liat Ben-Zur shows how AI changes the economics of work, makes the organization itself a bottleneck, weakens hierarchy’s hold on information, unbundles management, and turns company history into executable context. Drawing on cases from Anthropic to Amazon, she explores how these changes move power, create new bottlenecks, and put leadership culture to the test.

  • The five shifts changing work and leadership, and why AI-driven productivity can create more work elsewhere without making the company faster.
  • What human oversight demands when an employee sees something the system missed, but challenging it could carry career risk.
  • A close tailored to the room, from marketing decisions about AI-generated creative to what happens when AI agents shop on customers’ behalf.

WHO RISES NOW — WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP AUDIENCES

Custom quote
Starting at $15,000
Keynote

AI turns company history into operating logic. In Who Rises Now, Liat Ben-Zur ties this to The Bias Advantage: bias is never the advantage. Navigating systems that misread you can teach you to question criteria, notice what's missing, read power and see when a system working as designed is wrong. Through Amazon recruiting and healthcare, she shows why judgment, pattern sensing, power fluency, empathy and courage are essential to leading AI. Technical expertise alone does not decide who's ready. You don't have to build AI to shape its decisions.

  • How company history becomes executable context, carrying old assumptions into future decisions, and the capabilities needed to challenge flawed measures.
  • Why human oversight only works when people can challenge confident answers and question the system without risking their careers.
  • A closing reflection: What have you learned to see, decide, and move that becomes more valuable because AI exists?

Thank you so much for an absolutely phenomenal discussion today! You brought in so many new insights and thought-provoking points, ranging from what you are seeing in terms of how companies are grappling with AI and how organizations are changing, to the culture impact, to your specific points on what skills will be most valuable in this changing world. You opened every Board Director's eyes as to what leading in AI looks like, and how to look for it. Everyone was riveted and engaged, the questions were excellent, and many members bought your book right on the spot, while you were speaking! Really well done.
