Most leaders can remember being told that something was beyond them. They were not ready. The idea was unrealistic. The timing was wrong. That was simply not how things were done. But the limits we face change as we become more successful.
For leaders working across AI, quantum, cyber and digital transformation, the voice saying “you can’t” may no longer come from another person. It may come from past experience, accepted best practice or an organisation that has become too comfortable with what has worked before.
In this keynote, Shamane Tan brings the central question from Who Told You You Couldn’t? into the world of technology leadership.
She explores how leaders can recognise when experience is sharpening their judgement and when it is narrowing it, question practices that may no longer create the same value, and identify the one move that could open a different path.
