The Planning Group provides keynote speakers on governance, strategy execution, and AI for boards, executives, and professional associations. Our Principals speak at national conferences on decision-making, execution, and governance in complex and regulated environments.
Organizations do not need more inspiration. They need clarity, focus, and the discipline to execute in noisy, overloaded environments. The Planning Group works with boards, executive teams, regulators, and professional bodies across complex and highly regulated environments. In 2026, two of our Principals, Peter Wright and Cheyenne Russell, are speaking at leading national conferences and sector events across Canada.
Their sessions are grounded in real organizational work. They focus on how decisions actually get made, where execution breaks down, and what leaders, boards, and professionals can do to improve outcomes.
Participants leave with practical language, decision frameworks, and governance perspectives they can apply immediately. Increasingly, this work includes AI, data, and technology—not as technical topics, but as governance, accountability, and decision challenges.
Our keynote speakers are frequently engaged by professional associations, regulators, and governance-driven organizations seeking practical approaches to decision-making, prioritization, and execution across complex systems.
