Daniel Kafer is a global futurist, co-author of Hyper Intelligence (with Lars Tvede and Jacob Bock Axelsen), and strategic advisor to leadership teams navigating the organisational and economic impact of artificial intelligence.
His research focuses on how AI amplifies human capability, reshapes organisational design, and produces asymmetric economic effects across industries. His frameworks, including the AI Price Split, the Adaptation Dividend, and the shift from Coordination Capital to Amplification Capital, help executives make strategic decisions about talent, technology investment, and competitive positioning.
A former Meta country head with experience across the US, Europe, and the Middle East, Daniel has delivered keynotes and leadership workshops in San Francisco, New York, Dubai, Riyadh, Paris, and Copenhagen.
He advises CEOs, CHROs, strategy leaders, and boards on the questions that define the coming decade: how organisations should redesign around AI, where costs will collapse and where they will rise, and what separates the companies that lead from those that fall quietly behind.
SIGNATURE KEYNOTES
The Turbulent Decade: Strategic Leadership When the Ground Is Shifting The 2030s will challenge foundational assumptions about work, education, lifespan, and economic structure. This keynote maps the forces driving the turbulence and gives leaders a navigation framework for the decade ahead.
From Coordination to Amplification: How AI Rewrites Organisational Design Meta runs its new AI unit at 50 contributors per manager. Amazon is targeting a 15% increase in its IC-to-manager ratio. The era of large coordinated teams is ending. This keynote explores what replaces it and how leaders should redesign.
The AI Price Split: What Gets Cheaper, What Gets Expensive, and Why Leaders Get It Wrong AI will collapse some costs by 95%. Others will rise. Most leadership teams are planning for the wrong version of this. This keynote gives executives a framework for understanding which parts of their cost structure face disruption and which ones don't.
The Adaptation Dividend: Why Redesign Beats Adoption The gap between organisations that passively adopt AI and those that structurally redesign around it is growing. This keynote quantifies the gap and shows leadership teams where the largest returns on adaptation are hiding.
Daniel has delivered keynotes and leadership workshops to executive audiences across four continents, including events in San Francisco, New York, Dubai, Riyadh, Paris, and Copenhagen.
