Speaking

I help audiences understand the invisible networks that determine whether change initiatives succeed or stall. Drawing on 15+ years of research and consulting across Vietnamese and Southeast Asian organisations, my talks bridge network science and practical leadership — giving audiences a new lens on the problems they are already trying to solve. Whether the context is AI adoption, organisational restructuring, a DEI programme, a post-merger integration, or information security, the underlying question is always the same: what do the human networks tell us, and what should we do about it?

Keynote & workshop topics

Organisational Network Analysis for Leaders

Audience: C-suite, HR leaders, OD practitioners

ONA reveals what org charts cannot: the real architecture of how influence flows, knowledge moves, and change spreads inside your organisation. This talk shows how multiplex ONA has been applied to accelerate leadership transitions, strengthen DEI initiatives, diagnose knowledge silos, design more effective communication structures, reduce turnover risk, and drive change management programmes of any kind — practical, data-driven, and immediately applicable.

Designing AI Champion Programs

Audience: Digital transformation leaders, CHROs, CIOs

A practical, evidence-based framework for identifying Oracle, Broker, and Silo-Buster archetypes inside your organisation and building a champion network that drives grass-roots AI adoption.

AI Strategy for Vietnamese & Southeast Asian Organisations

Audience: Executives, boards, government agencies

Contextualised AI strategy: from AI readiness assessment and workforce upskilling to governance frameworks and the ethical dimensions of AI deployment in ASEAN cultural contexts.

Information Security Culture & Governance

Audience: CISOs, compliance teams, senior managers

Why technical controls alone are insufficient — and how to build a security-positive organisational culture through behavioural science, network-based intervention design, and evidence-based governance.

Network Science for the Modern Organisation

Audience: General audiences, academic communities

An accessible introduction to graph theory, betweenness centrality, and community detection — and why these mathematical tools are transforming how we understand organisations, cities, and society.

ONA for Change Management & Organisational Transformation

Audience: Change managers, HR directors, project sponsors, transformation leads

Large-scale change fails not because of poor strategy but because it misreads the human system. This talk introduces ONA as a change management diagnostic — showing how network data can identify resistance early, reveal informal champions of change, expose communication bottlenecks, and help practitioners design interventions that work with the organisation's real social architecture rather than against it. Applicable to restructures, cultural transformation, post-merger integration, and any initiative where people are the determining factor.
