Over the past two decades, he’s worked with leaders across corporations, governments, and NGOs, witnessing firsthand the escalating pressures organisations now face. In 2025, these challenges include the ripple effects of a new American presidency, the rapid evolution of AI, shifting consumer behaviours, and an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. Leaders know what’s changing—but they don’t know how to prepare.

Distilling this experience into his book Four Future Seasons, Dr. Wing’s keynote offers a revolutionary, practical framework for navigating uncertainty with clarity and confidence. In a world where traditional planning is breaking down and “trend forecasting” fails to deliver actionable value.

Dr. Craig Wing's keynote goes beyond analysis to provide the tools necessary to:

• Spot early signals of change—whether in AI breakthroughs or geopolitical shifts—and prevent crises before they escalate.
• Master the unique challenges of each metaphorical “season,” adapting to evolving consumer preferences and emerging technologies.
• Challenge assumptions and drive proactive, not reactive, decision-making using strategic foresight.
• Build resilience and take control of their futures in a world of accelerating change.
