In an era of AI disruption, capital abundance and heightened stakeholder scrutiny, CEOs and CFOs increasingly function as a joint leadership core, tasked not just with strategy and capital allocation, but with shaping behaviour across the organisation. Yet dashboards, forecasts and business cases rarely shift mindsets or make change stick.

In this session, Biju Dominic will draw on neuroscience and behavioural economics to unpack a core leadership paradox: rational analysis often blinds leaders to the psychological and emotional forces that truly drive decisions. He will explore how cognitive bias, emotional circuitry and social conditioning influence leadership judgment, and why even well-designed transformation efforts fail.

The session will offer a practical, science-based framework to help CEOs and CFOs make better decisions together by combining logic with intuition, numbers with narrative and strategy with behavioural design.
