Vincent Murphy speaks to leadership teams, schools and universities, and public audiences about AI as the biggest shift in human thinking since the printing press.
Every talk is built from original frameworks (Cognology, Ludicity and Woah), delivered without jargon, and usually includes a live demonstration. The argument has been presented at the Royal Society and taken to engineers, educators, councils and leadership teams. Talks are designed to produce decisions, not polite applause.
"I've rarely been in a room where there have been so many stunned faces in response to the demonstrations and information provided, and furious scribbling of 'must-do' actions as a result. Thank you Vincent Murphy for an excellent, thought-provoking and slightly scary presentation."
For boards, executive teams and leadership offsites deciding what AI means for the organisation, not just which tools to buy. Expect the historical frame, a live demonstration, and the questions that separate load-bearing decisions from rearranged furniture.
For senior educators, governors, staff and students rethinking what we are now teaching for. Builds on the address to senior educators at the Hurst Foundation and the argument presented at the Royal Society’s Future of Text Symposium.
For festivals, societies, libraries and community events. The big picture told as a story: four shifts in how humans think, what it feels like to live through the fourth, and how to meet it with curiosity rather than dread.
AI in the lineage of language, writing and print. The civilisational argument, and what history tells us to expect next.
Why most AI strategies are built on the wrong foundation, and what a Cognological frame changes about the decisions you are making right now.
From the new book. The five brace positions leaders take up under AI pressure, from Denial to Ludicity, and the gap between the position you hold in private and the one you perform in public.
AI’s pace of change and how firms can harness it, with live demonstrations. First given to METALL’s manufacturing and engineering audience in February 2025.
What the literacy of the AI era looks like in practice, for teams, classrooms and anyone who wants genuine agency over the next decade.
The argument as presented at the Royal Society’s Future of Text Symposium: why the age of fixed, scarce text is ending, and what kind of literacy replaces it.
Shannon, Zen and the cognitive philosophy of standing calmly at the edge of something unprecedented. For audiences who want depth, not reassurance.
Every talk can be tailored to your sector and the questions you are actually wrestling with. To see Vincent speak, visit talks and interviews.
A single talk for a conference, leadership offsite, board awayday or all-staff event. Calibrated to the seniority of the room, with live demonstration and Q&A.
A keynote followed by applied work: the frameworks put to the specific questions your organisation, school or sector is wrestling with.
The same at depth: more time for applied work and live demonstration, and for the decisions and next steps that follow.
Multi-session programmes, a series for a sector body, or a hybrid of speaking and advisory across a period of transition. Designed in conversation.
Send the audience, the date, the format you have in mind, and the one question you want the room to leave with. Vincent replies personally.
