“We had the great honor to welcome Kamales Lardi as a keynoter at our very first Night Talk in Munich. She shared her thoughts on the topic: "The end of ‘business as usual': Accelerating sustainable business success with Digital Transformation". Mindblowing! Not only does she know one thousand examples from practice, Kamales also has this incredible presence and owns the stage. Couldn’t think of a better speaker for our premier.”
"I had the pleasure of listening to Kamales Lardi's keynote address, "The End of Business as Usual" at the 2023 CLO Symposium, and it was nothing short of transformative. Her presentation vividly captured the essence of the digital revolution we are living in today by taking us on a journey through the rapidly changing tech landscape and its impact on business and workforce dynamics. Kamales highlighted the critical need for organizations to quickly acclimate, upskill and build adaptive cultures in the face of unprecedented disruption. Kamales not only shared valuable insights, but also emphasized the significance of a human-centric approach in the digital transformation journey. She made a compelling case for the pivotal role that continuous learning has in building a workforce that’s prepared to survive and thrive in the digital future. Her thought-provoking examples, like the pike fish experiment, resonated deeply and left me with a profound understanding of the necessity to recognize change in our environments. Kamales’ keynote was an eye-opening experience, leaving me with a clear vision of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in this era of digital transformation. Her expertise and passionate delivery truly set the stage for a future where adaptability and continuous learning will be the keys to success in the end of business as usual."
''Kamales held the key note speech at the Phoenix Mecano Manager’s Conference 2021. Kamales’ presentation was truly inspiring. She offered new perspectives to our international audience how to look at and think about our leading conference topic “Digital Transformation”. Based on her professional background, with excellent real business examples as well as selected ‘touch & try & feel’ exhibits Kamales could convey important key messages to our diverse group of top managers with a high credibility. Our group’s leadership team will now think differently about “the digital impact” on our businesses and business models, upcoming challenges as well as opportunities.''
“Kamales Lardi held a keynote on the power of disruptive technologies for the Board and Executive Management as part of our own leadership transformation. She prompted thinking and stimulated a very good discussion, well integrated in a series of explorations underway in our business, thereby setting clear direction for what it means to integrate technology (and capability) in the full articulation of each strategic choice.”
