The Master Classes are led by internationally recognized experts:

Master Class 2: Alexander Kagl - From Delivery to Value: The Project Manager as Strategic Partner for Project Success

Day 2 - Forum Day | 3 November 2026 | 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM

FEBRUARY 3

Drucker Salon in Riyadh

hosted in collaboration with Steelcase Inc. and Diom Holding Company

Date: 3rd February 2026
Location: DIOM X – ALZALLAL, DIRIYAH
Topic: Human Magic - Leading with Wisdom in an Age of Algorithms

This intimate gathering will bring together leading executives and academics to explore the future of management in a rapidly evolving world. The event will be kicked off by a keynote by Prof. Johan Roos, followed by a moderated group discussion. The topic will focus on leaders worldwide reporting a troubling pattern: AI makes them faster but more passive, more efficient but less reflective. They find themselves managing algorithmic outputs rather than making strategic decisions. Research confirms their intuition: AI users demonstrate measurably lower brain engagement and weakened independent thinking. Drawing on his research on leading in the age of AI, Johan Roos will present the core framework from his forthcoming book Human Magic (Routledge, 2026): A methodology for strengthening five human capabilities that no algorithm can replicate. The question is not "Will AI replace us?" but rather: "How do we deliberately cultivate our human capabilities that make us irreplaceable partners with AI, not replaceable operators of it?” Subsequently, there will be time for networking.
This is an exceptional opportunity to engage in high-calibre dialogue and expand your network within an exclusive circle of thought-leaders.

We look forward to an inspiring afternoon of meaningful conversations and fruitful exchange.
