Embracing Liminality and Future of Human Agency

Leading in liminal times with humanity at the core of every decision, connection, and breakthrough

More detailed information

In a world shaped by AI and profound social transformations, leadership is no longer about control or certainty. It’s about navigating the in-between, the liminal space where yesterday’s models no longer apply, and tomorrow’s possibilities are still emerging.


In this talk:


  • The Liminal Space: Why existing in the perpetual 'in-between'—between what was and what is yet to come—requires a new form of (self)leadership.


  • Cognitive Ecosystems: How to protect and enhance human decision-making and creativity within automated environments where we need to guard human agency.


  • Global Innovation Speed: Navigating the risks and opportunities of the "Ethical Divergence" between Europe and the rest of the world.


  • The ELIZA Effect: Understanding our tendency to humanize technology and why guarding human agency is critical in cognitive and agentic ecosystems.


  • The Grid vs. The Dancer: Insights into navigating a world steered by algorithms while reclaiming our genuine human competencies.


  • The Learning Oxygen: Why curiosity, openness, imagination, and consilience are the only sustainable tools for a future in constant flux.


Blending neuroscience, global strategy, and storytelling, Katja invites you to move beyond what you imagine possible. This session is a practical roadmap for leading with humanity in a world that never stops changing.
