WHY RAMY
Ramy Nassar is the founder of 1000 Days Out and a former Head of Innovation at Mattel, with a career focused on technology, innovation, and strategic foresight. Through keynotes, workshops, teaching, and advisory work, he helps leaders evaluate AI applications, move beyond pilot projects, and prepare for disruption.
KEYNOTE TOPICS
Ramy examines how leaders can identify practical AI use cases, test them through proofs of concept, and assess where investment is justified. He addresses the organizational decisions required to move promising initiatives beyond isolated pilots.
This topic explores AI agents and their implications for workflows, teams, and decision-making. Ramy connects emerging capabilities to practical questions about adoption, investment, and how work may be reorganized.
Ramy introduces approaches including horizon scanning, weak-signal analysis, scenario planning, and multi-horizon thinking. The focus is on making decisions that remain useful across several plausible futures rather than relying on a single forecast.
Ramy addresses the governance, trust, risk, and reputational questions that accompany wider AI adoption. He helps leadership teams consider not only what they can build, but what they should delay, constrain, or decline to pursue.
Drawing on innovation leadership, workshops, and advisory work, Ramy uses prototyping to make emerging technologies tangible. The approach allows teams to test assumptions, align around relevant applications, and connect experimentation with strategic priorities.
