Paul Gibbons Biography
Paul Gibbons has a global reputation as a futurist and scholar on the human side of technology. According to reviewers his 2025 book, "Adopting AI", "artfully blends the optimism of Kurzweil with the caution of Bostrom with the pragmatism of Mollick." The first section of Adopting AI reviews both the enormous potential for humanity, the second focuses on workforce and culture challenges pointing out the flaws in typical approaches to technology adoption. The third and final section is the go to on the practice of AI ethics and governance. He has been called a 21st-century Peter Drucker and is ranked alongside Adam Grant and Amy Edmonson as one of today’s leading thinkers.
His other five books include: "Spirituality of Work and Leadership" shows how leaders can lead with the deepest human values to create workplaces with meaning and purpose at their heart; his bestseller, "The Science of Organizational Change", is ranked top five on leading change. His most sought-after speaking topics include Generative AI, Remote Working, Innovation, Mental Health, and Behavioral Science.
Gibbons recently left IBM, where he worked on the human capital challenges of exponential technologies: AI, blockchain, cloud computing, and digital transformation. At PwC, he was a thought leader in innovation, culture change, and corporate transformation.
He has been an adjunct professor of leadership at major business schools and has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, and Human Capital Magazine. In 2015, he appeared in Microsoft’s Distinguished Author Program and Talks at Google. CEO magazine recognized Gibbons as one of two CEO "super-coaches" and his coaching firm as the best of the leadership consulting boutiques.
He lives in Colorado with his two boys and plays competitive chess, bridge, and poker, competing in the World Series of Poker every summer.

Paul Gibbons Speaking Topics
AI will touch every corner of our lives as citizens, consumers, and business people. In this 60- to 90-minute keynote, Paul covers Artificial General Intelligence - and whether that creates an existential risk. Then closer to today, he covers the effect on jobs, on biases and fairness, on privacy and property rights, on accountability and malfeasance, and on human development.
Some CEOs call our moment the opportunity of a lifetime, but deciding which AI strategies to pursue is fraught with risk. This 60- to 90- minute keynote covers a) why technology deployments often fail, b) the AI maturity model, c) how to create a vision, d) how to create an AI centered people strategy, e) what an AI deployment and governance team should look like, f) the ethics of AI, and g) getting an AI culture to work. Paul has 35 years helping businesses deploy technology, at PwC and at IBM and is the author of six book on change leadership.
Change management is essential, but big-name firms offer methods from the 1990s, and specialists often peddle New Age and pop psychology. We can’t use 1990s methods because the business world (duh) has changed; we can’t use pseudoscience and pop psychology (such as “left-brain/ right-brain”) because they don’t work. What does work? While there are no change silver bullets, behavioral science (including ideas such as nudging) offers a way of changing behavior sometimes ten times as effective as traditional change. Paul helped design PwC’s change methodology and has advised both Deloitte and IBM on how to upgrade their methods. His four books on change are best-sellers.
McKinsey says that 85 million jobs may be displaced by 2025 by AI. By 2032, the market for AI is predicted to reach two trillion dollars. Business leaders face two related challenges – how do I take advantage of this new technology to create business value? And, more viscerally, how do I future-proof my career, and perhaps even gain a career advantage in this new world?
Old models of change management and leadership, even those from big-name firms, offer nothing by way of insights and tools to help understand the effect of mental health on change and how to build personal and organizational resilience. Yet look around your next meeting. One in five of us suffer at any given moment. Half of us will experience a mental health episode in our lifetime. (And of those, only half get treatment!) We know that change can affect mental health, but mental health also affects a leader’s ability to effect change. What can and should we do?
