A thought leader in human connectivity and synchronization, partnering with technology and leading future ready, resilient organizations.
Dr Fiona Kerr is founder of the NeuroTech Institute, which researches and consults globally on future proofing organisations and sectors to ensure the transformative power of technology is combined with the unique attributes of humans to enable the best outcomes. This includes how leaders build better brains; the cognition of resilience; the neurophysiology of human interaction and how to partner effectively with Artificial Intelligence.
Fiona advises the robotics industry, health, aging and education sectors, Finland's national AI program, and Defence (USA and Australia).

Human-Technology Interaction: The Impacts of Technology on Human Cognition and Communication
The neurophysiology of how humans shape each other during face-to-face interaction is altered by the use of technology in various ways, both good and bad. Understanding this allows us to use technology as a true enabler, and choose when it is not the best solution.

Fiona will teach us how part of understanding and valuing the dynamics of human interaction is knowing when it offers advantages over the technology-based interaction which is becoming pervasive in human society. She will ask, what is getting in the way, and how do we ensure we connect? Dr. Fiona Kerr is a prominent thought leader in the fields of social cognitive neuroscience (SCN) and human connectivity. She combines an industry professor role at Adelaide University in Neural and Systems Complexity, with public speaking and consulting to companies, industry and governments on how leaders build better brains and businesses, artificial intelligence and the neurophysiological impact of humans interfacing with both humans and technologies.Changing Our Minds: How great leaders rewire brains

Firstly, can I again say a very sincere and hearty thank you for your contribution to the CBA LBB conference on Monday. You were incredibly well received - the standout - so well done and, again, many thanks. I'm sure the team would be thrilled to engage you again. I hope you had a pleasant flight back, , delightful to work with you, you really brought a different focus to a banking conference and in the process provoked some great insights and conversations (oh, and in passing, you ruthlessly crushed your opponent in the debate :-))
On behalf of the team I would like to thank you very much for speaking at our conference at Randwick last Thursday. You shared a lot of fascinating information which supported our conference themes of embracing change, and encouraging idea generation, creativity, resilience, and innovation. You gave the audience and our business some great techniques to adopt to continue to improve our performance. We are looking forward to referring back to the content to absorb it further! There is genuine anticipation of your book being published. The conference was a great success and we continue to receive a lot of positive feedback, including in relation to your session so thank you very much for joining us and helping to make it a great event.
