Workshop: From Cognitive Collapse to Computational Clarity

Duration: 40 min

Focus:

Public sector forecasting has repeatedly failed to anticipate complex political outcomes, from Brexit to coalition shocks in India, due to overreliance on rational-choice assumptions and underestimation of human cognitive limits. This workshop introduces the Multi-Level Political Dynamics Framework (MPDF 3.0), which integrates cognitive load, bounded rationality, and Bayesian computational methods to model decisions at macro (institutions), meso (coalitions), and micro (individual actors) levels. Using metrics such as the Cognitive Index, Cognitive-Adjusted Stability, and Narrative Elasticity, AI systems generate predictive insights for policy foresight, early instability detection, and cognitively realistic strategy design in high-stakes governance.​

Key outcomes:

• Applied MPDF Blueprint: Clear understanding of MPDF 3.0’s macro–meso–micro architecture and how to plug it into existing AI/analytics stacks for governments and multilaterals.​

• New Cognitive Metrics Toolkit: Practical use of Cognitive Index, Cognitive-Adjusted Stability, and Narrative Elasticity for forecasting coalition shifts, negotiation dynamics, and narrative risk.​

• AI-Assisted Governance Playbook: Concrete patterns for using AI to support, not replace, human decision-makers—respecting cognitive limits while improving robustness of public sector choices.​

• Instability Early-Warning Design: How to build AI-powered early-warning dashboards for systemic instability and policy failure in complex political environments.

Beyond Tokenisation: Why the Next Economy Runs on Asset Intelligence

Duration: 40  min

Focus:
Demystifying Web3 and exploring how decentralisation, digital identity, and tokenisation can enable new business models and communities.

Structure:

• 10 min – Web3 essentials (blockchain, wallets, digital identity, tokens)

• 15 min – Real-world examples (finance, supply chain, creator economy, impact)

• 20 min – Breakout: design a simple Web3-enabled concept (loyalty, access, governance, etc.)

• 15 min – Group share + discussion on risks, regulation, and opportunities

Ideal for: startups, corporates, ecosystem builders, legal/policy professionals.

Designing Trusted Global Innovation Systems: Governance & Investment Signals in a Fragmented World
Objective
Enable senior leaders (CTOs, CIOs, Investors) to exchange decision-making heuristics
regarding where they scale capital and R&D.
Description
As geopolitical uncertainty, AI acceleration, and supply-chain redesign reshape global
innovation, leaders are rethinking where and how they scale capital and R&D. This interactive
workshop explores friendshoring as a system-level response, focusing on trust, governance
maturity, and ecosystem velocity rather than cost efficiency. Through live polling and moderated
discussion, participants will exchange decision signals shaping global innovation systems in
2026 and beyond, using Southeast Asia as a contextual case.
Key Takeaways

• Innovation Geography as a Board-Level Issue
  Why trust, regulatory predictability, and operational resilience are becoming decisive factors in where capital and R&D are deployed.

• Risk Mapping in Real Time
  How geopolitical resilience and talent velocity are reshaping 3-year innovation roadmaps—often outweighing traditional labour-cost advantages.

• Decision Signals That Matter
  The growing importance of digital trust infrastructure and alignment with global security and data standards (e.g., NIST, GDPR-equivalent frameworks) when selecting innovation hubs.

• From Execution to Capability
  How global innovation models are shifting from coding delivery toward AI system integration, advanced engineering, and Green Tech R&D.

• Looking Ahead to 2026
  Which emerging ecosystems show the institutional maturity and governance readiness to support trusted, scalable global innovation systems.
