The Decision Is the Hard Part

Technology projects rarely fail on the technology. They fail on the decision behind it: the wrong problem, the wrong moment, the wrong reasons. This keynote unpacks why good leaders still make bad technology calls, and gives an audience a practical way to tell a real decision from an expensive distraction. The room leaves with a sharper question to take back to the table.

Nobody Selling You Anything

Most technology advice comes from someone with something to sell. This talk asks a pointed question: what would your roadmap look like if it were built by someone with no product to push and no referral fee to earn? Keith walks executive audiences through how to spot hidden incentives, pressure-test a recommendation, and build a vetting process that protects the organization from advice dressed up as guidance.

AI Without the Panic

The conversation about AI swings between breathless hype and quiet dread, and neither helps a leadership team decide anything. This talk drains the panic out of the subject and replaces it with a clear-eyed view: what AI is genuinely good at today, where it is still oversold, and how to find the first move that is real rather than performative. Audiences leave able to tell the signal from the noise.

The Forgotten Generation

The consulting industry has fallen in love with the playbook: the framework, the template, the repeatable method. But the leaders who deliver real results are usually the ones with hard-won context and judgment that no deck can capture. This talk makes the case for the forgotten generation of advisors, and argues that experience and context beat the playbook every time. A new lens for anyone who buys, sells, or relies on outside expertise.
