Thoughtworks Leadership, Case Study

Thoughtworks Called. The Room Was Already Full of CEOs.

When Thoughtworks launched their first Australian CxO event, they didn’t want hype. They wanted honesty. They invited Morris to open a private dinner for their top clients and global leaders — not to dazzle, but to de-risk the future. His keynote stripped away the futurism theatre and drilled into leadership lag, invisible friction, and why foresight isn’t prediction — it’s preparation.

Morris then co-led a panel that bridged product with people, tech with trust, and turned buzzwords into real-time roadmaps. The audience? Clients, founders, CIOs, and CDOs. The result? Not just a better conversation — but a new model for how Thoughtworks leads with context, not credentials.

Shift: From capability showcases to context-aware leadership futures.

The result?: The session became a format blueprint — one now used to structure Thoughtworks’ high-trust client events across the region.
