About the Event

 

FST Media is delighted to host an executive-led roundtable discussion in partnership with Kyndryl and Microsoft, exploring the topic of “The Psychology of Change: Aligning Technology Readiness with People Readiness

As businesses modernise, leaders face the challenge of managing complexity, balancing short-term gains with long-term goals, and innovating while managing risk. Kyndryl’s readiness report reveals a paradox: while leaders are confident in their technology, they worry about future challenges, emphasising that readiness depends as much on people as on technology.

The conversation will be led by Milo Wilkinson, an international award-winning Behavioural Scientist, criminal profiler, and high-performance coach with expertise in human behaviour analysis. With seven degrees spanning cognitive and clinical neurosciences, psychology, and psychotherapy, Milo has worked with CEOs, athletes, criminals, and sales professionals. She co-designed a groundbreaking project with Harvard University on the unconscious brain and has served as the Peak Performance Behavioural Scientist for top sporting teams like the Sydney Swans. Known for her interactive and highly unique keynote presentations, Milo transforms behavioural insights into actionable strategies for personal and professional growth. Milo will challenge the belief that humans resist change, suggesting instead that we may be naturally inclined to adapt and evolve. Join this interactive session to understand how we can shift our readiness mindset to better prepare for the future.

This roundtable will operate under Chatham House Rules and will explore: 

  • The paradox of readiness: Why confidence in today’s technology doesn’t ensure adaptability for tomorrow
  • Balancing innovation with complexity: Managing transformation amid competing priorities 
  • The science of change: How our physiology, neurology, and psychology influence our ability to adapt 
  • Reframing resistance: Why humans aren’t resistant to change – we’re wired for it
