The Power of Cognitive Diversity: Join ‘Speak to the Human’ Autumn Brunch with Matthew Syed
Discover how diverse thinking can unlock innovation and reduce risk. Join Acteon’s must-attend event for leaders and practitioners across People, Comms, L&D, Change and more.
Success for organisations today demands more than talent or skill - it requires diverse thinking.
On Wednesday 12th November 2025, Acteon Communication and Learning will host a new in-person event in its ‘Speak to the Human’ calendar - bringing together leaders and practitioners working across People, Comms, Change, L&D, Operations, and Leadership.
Bold ideas, brilliant connections, and practical insights.
Featuring Matthew Syed, acclaimed broadcaster and bestselling author, we will explore how cognitive diversity can spark innovation, reduce risk, and build cultures where people feel safe to speak up. Participants will leave with thought-provoking examples and insights for tackling today’s workplace challenges.
Why Now?
From AI disruption to hybrid working, today’s challenges are more complex than ever. Too often, organisations rely on the same voices and the same thinking.
Matthew draws on cutting-edge research in psychology, economics and anthropology, and lessons from a dazzling range of case studies, including the catastrophic intelligence failings of the CIA before 9/11 to show how cognitive diversity can help leaders strengthen their teams and organisations.

About Speak to the Human:
‘Speak to the Human’ has grown over the past four years, based on a vibrant, in-person event in Cambridge every June.
