Herminia Ibarra is the pre-eminent Professor of Organisational Behaviour at London Business School and the definitive architect of modern leadership transition strategy. Author of the seminal Act Like a Leader, Think Like a Leader, she is globally recognised for pioneering the concept of "Outsight", which reframes executive development as a process of disciplined experimentation rather than internal reflection. On stage, Herminia is intellectually commanding and research-led, deconstructing the social adaptation required to navigate complex succession planning and high-stakes lateral transitions.

She demonstrates why external networks and "action-first" learning are the primary drivers of credibility in volatile markets. By synthesising behavioural science with commercial reality, Herminia provides a rigorous framework for building leadership pipelines that survive disruption.

Leaders will leave with a sophisticated roadmap for identity evolution, gaining the strategic clarity to lead with authenticity while navigating shifting institutional power and global governance.
