Terence Mauri

Terence Mauri is a global authority on future readiness DNA where he helps business and government leaders to turn disruption into a platform for long-term resilience, agility, and reinvention. Mauri is the founder of the future trends think tank Hack Future Lab, Inc. and holds Entrepreneur Mentor-in-Residence at MIT. His latest book, The Upside of Disruption: The Path to Leading and Thriving in the Unknown (Wiley/Thinkers50) has been described as a ‘wake up call for business and government leaders to navigate a complex and fractured world. He says: “The future isn’t just about technology and trends. It’s about mindsets and choices, too. The biggest risk today is acting with yesterday’s logic. Let’s not waste one of the biggest reframing moments in our lifetimes.”

Future IQ: Why Playing it Safe is the Biggest Risk

Yesterday’s logic won’t solve today’s constraints. Terence will show how to turn megatrends into milestones by upgrading an organisation’s ‘Future IQ’: strategic courage to choose, team resilience to adapt, and operating agility to execute. He’ll share decision rituals for high‑ambiguity contexts, ways to de‑risk bold bets through experimentation, and simple metrics that convert long‑range horizons into 90‑day outcomes. Attendees leave with a concrete cadence for moving from insight to impact, fast.
