In a world overflowing with dashboards, metrics, and predictive models, today’s leaders face a critical question: is data empowering better decisions, or is it overshadowing the human judgment that drives innovation and vision? This panel brings together voices from business, academia, and cross-sector leadership to explore the friction — and the possibilities — at the intersection of analytics and intuition.
Business leaders often operate in environments where evidence must be measurable and defensible, while academics work in traditions that prize intellectual curiosity, exploration, and instinct. When these cultures meet, the result is a powerful — and sometimes uncomfortable — collision of perspectives.
Join us as our panellists unpack how leaders can navigate these differences, reconcile evidence with instinct, and shape a leadership approach fit for a world that is both data-rich and increasingly uncertain. Whether you’re driven by numbers, guided by insight, or striving to balance both, this is a conversation that will challenge assumptions and sharpen your thinking about the future of leadership.
