“Shaping  the  Future  of  the  World  Economy:  Strategic  Decisions  Powered  by  Data  and  Human  truth”

In a world where transformation and constant change are the new normal, every industry, company, education system, and governing institution must evolve to stay relevant. As we face the future, critical questions emerge:

01

Where are we heading?

02

How do we prioritize amidst rapid change?

03

What factors should guide our transformation?

04

And most importantly, who are the leaders we
trust to shape this future?

Transformation  requires  not  only  vision  but  also  resilience—built  through  constant  research  and  the  ability  to  adapt  to  uncertainty.

Insights Lighthouse highlights the key factors and state-of-the-art methodologies that empower decision-makers to develop failure resilience in an ever-changing world.

By combining the power of AI-driven insights with the critical thinking and experience of human judgment, we offer the tools needed to make informed, strategic decisions that drive meaningful change.

At the Insights  Lighthouse  executive  reception,  C-level  executives , thought  leaders,  and  policymakers  will  join  forces  with  the  leaders

to discuss how constant research supports innovation and reduces the impact of failure.

From investment and corporate strategy to digital transformation and product development, we’ll explore how insights professionals can guide leaders through complex decisions.

These discussions will showcase how data analytics and professional expertise can drive resilient, well-balanced decisions.

Join  us  to  learn  how  the  leaders  of  tomorrow  can  make  smarter,  data-driven  choices  that  balance  AI  technology

with human intuition, helping to navigate the uncertainties of the 5th Industrial Revolution.

Whether you’re an executive steering your organization through transformation or an insights professional driving strategy, this event is your opportunity to influence the future of the world economy.

Our reviews

“As I’m returning from
Davos, I’m sharing some
thoughts I bring back home.“

“In case you’re still wondering, AI is at the center of Every. Single. Conversation.

The future of work is there already. On the panel I was speaking, we had a very good conversation on how AI can alleviate the burden of a faster paced world on workers: more questions, more frequently, on more topics, with ever less resources and teams.”
