THE THINKING
THERE IS NEVER
TIME FOR

Anna Plekhanova speaks to executive and extended leadership teams about the challenges and opportunities at the core of leadership — surfacing the difficult questions any leader recognises, inviting self-reflection grounded in fact and example, and leaving people with something to act on.
Her talks come from board membership and an executive director role in oil and gas, and from decades of business transformation: shaping strategic decisions, and delivering with the front line across functional silos and through competing priorities.

Data-Rich: The Answer Was Never in the Data

Most AI and data talks are technical. This one is for the people who make decisions every day — with data and without. What our data stands on, what we already hold and rarely use, and what AI asks of leadership.
It ends on one question. Everything before it is there to make that question impossible to avoid.

ON THE STAGE

Presented at the GPA-GCC and GPA-Europe joint conference in Muscat, to audiences of several hundred.

Board and executive audiences, industry events, and classroom delivery to leadership and practitioner groups — across the Middle East, UK and Europe.

A short extract from a conference keynote.

She presents with an ease that puts a room at ease. Questions and challenge are welcomed rather than managed. She reads the dynamic and follows it, and with senior leaders she talks peer to peer.
