Conor Grennan Speaking Topics
The talk that started the AI Mindset thesis. Why the average knowledge worker is still typing two-word queries into a senior colleague — and what changes when they stop.
Microsoft Research ran a 388-person field study at Gap Inc. Same AI, different training, 2.07× the odds. The talk on how behavior change actually works at scale.
Every enterprise AI rollout fails the same four ways. The pilot trap, the lightning rod, the vendor parade, and the policy freeze — what they look like, and how to avoid them.
The mental model that separates teams who use AI from teams who actually work with it. The shift from "tool" to "teammate," and what it does to output quality.
Where AI actually is right now, stripped of marketing. What changed in the last twelve months that matters for strategy, hiring, and what your team is paid to do.
