About Jonathan
Check Jonathan's availability →Jonathan Brill bridges the gap between academic futurism and boardroom reality. As a former Futurist-in-Residence at Amazon and Global Futurist at HP, he has directed long-term strategy for Fortune 50 companies, run invention firms, and designed everything from theme park rides to World’s Fair pavilions.
His companies have served the State Department and Secret Service, brought 350+ products from idea to market, and generated more than $27 billion for his clients. He has advised leading brands including Verizon, Samsung, PepsiCo, and IBM, helping them invent their own futures.
His most recent book, AI and the Octopus Organization: Building the Superintelligent Firm, explores how organizations that distribute authority, embed AI at the edges, and cultivate rapid-learning cultures will become the undisputed leaders of tomorrow.
Through the Center for Radical Change, Jonathan’s team has interviewed over 1,000 business leaders and conducted survey research with 2.7 million managers to understand why some leaders are dramatically more effective when the world changes.

Every keynote is tailored to your audience and theme.
AI & The Octopus Organization™
The gap between firms that adopt AI holistically and those that dabble at the edges will be the gap between survival and extinction. Jonathan shows how to rethink the traditional hierarchical model and build an organization where a central brain sets strategy while intelligent arms act autonomously and learn in real time.
Rogue Waves: Future-Proof Your Business to Survive and Profit from Radical Change
Based on his bestselling book, Jonathan reveals how hidden risks and transformative opportunities converge in 'rogue waves' of disruption. He gives leaders a practical framework to spot these waves before they hit and position their organizations to ride them to growth.
What AI Can't Replace: How Great Leaders Create Advantage in an Automated World
AI will automate tasks, but it can't automate judgment, empathy, or vision. This keynote defines the irreplaceable leadership competencies that will separate thriving organizations from those left behind.
