Amr Okasha

Why do so many AI projects succeed technically and still fail inside organizations? Dr. Amr Okasha has spent more than 23 years answering that question in practice, leading technology and transformation programs in large organizations across ten countries.

His latest book, The Third Mind (The 3rd Mind): Secrets of Leading AI in Organizations, gives leaders a practical system for directing human and machine intelligence together. It introduces original tools such as the Trust Ladder, the Dual-Evidence Principle and the Three Authorities, and draws lessons from high-profile failures such as Knight Capital and the Boeing 737 MAX. It is written for anyone who leads people, teams or change in the age of AI, from the boardroom to the front line.

Amr is also the creator of thinking and productivity models used by readers around the world:

• BrainTwister (2019): a creative thinking model for individuals

• Spinning Plates Methodology: a seven-step time management system, also published in Arabic

• ReCAPP: a four-step plan for lasting personal change

• Greatness – The Dark Side: how ordinary people rise and why great leaders fall, with an edition for teens

He holds a Doctorate (DBA) and an MBA from SBS Swiss Business School, Zurich, and a computer science degree from Cairo University, along with PMP, PMI-CPMAI (AI project management), TOGAF 10 and ITIL 4 Managing Professional certifications.

An international speaker and trainer, Amr shares ideas on leadership, creative thinking and personal growth with more than 23,000 followers on his YouTube channel, @Dr.amrokasha.
