Liz Wiseman
Keynote Speaker on Collective Intelligence & Leadership Impact
Liz Wiseman is a globally pre-eminent leadership researcher, bestselling author, and CEO of The Wiseman Group. A former executive at Oracle, where she led Oracle University, Liz has spent decades deconstructing how "Multiplier" leaders amplify the intelligence and capability of those around them. Recognised in the Thinkers50 Hall of Fame, she is a definitive authority on organisational performance, proving that the most successful leaders don’t just have the best answers—they facilitate the conditions where their teams think better, contribute more, and innovate faster.
Liz specialises in "Applied Intelligence," reframing leadership as a disciplined system for unlocking latent talent. Her research identifies the subtle, often unintentional "Diminisher" habits that suppress workforce productivity and collective problem-solving. For 92 Speakers’ clients, she provides a rigorous, evidence-based framework for talent management and cultural transformation, demonstrating how to build high-performance organisations through impact-led leadership.
A clear and disciplined presence, Liz offers C-suite boards a grounded roadmap for cultivating collective excellence.
