SPEAKING PACKAGES

A man giving a presentation at a conference with a large screen behind him displaying a quote about technology, with seated audience members listening and taking notes.

Mike speaks regularly at Australian and international conferences on innovation, AI, and the future of the not-for-profit, social enterprise and impact sector. Practical, evidence-based, no buzzword soup.

Tailored for the audience, but always grounded in lived experience inside Australian for-purpose organisations.

Signature topics.

A grounded, sector-specific look at where AI actually creates value in NFP and social enterprise contexts — and where it's still a distraction. Practical use cases, governance, and risk.

01‍ ‍ AI and for-purpose — what works and what doesn’t.

02 Innovation execution that actually ships.

The specific habits, structures and rituals that distinguish for-purpose orgs that ship innovation from those that just talk about it. Drawn from years inside the function.

Hands-on frameworks for generating better ideas and testing them before you spend the money. Tools your team will actually use. Ensuring your investment in AI and technology yields fruit.

03‍ ‍ Generating bold ideas that are stress-tested.

04‍ ‍ Building an innovation culture from the ground up.

How innovation cultures are actually built — through systems, not slogans. What changes about leadership, hiring, governance and operations when you mean it.

05 The future of the for-purpose sector.

Where the Australian and global for-purpose sector is heading, what's threatening current models, and where the most exciting innovation is happening.
