London Business School is happy to kick-off 2026 with the first MBASD mixer of the year with a featured guest speaker on Wednesday Jan. 14th, 2026.

Our speaker will be Vivian Rhoads with the provocative title:

Stop Decking Around
Wake Up to the Human Factor of Innovation

Innovation does not fail because of bad ideas. At a time when AI can generate unlimited content in seconds, leaders are flooded with decks while teams run low on genuine human connection. In this presentation, Vivian Rhoads invites leaders to Stop Decking Around and reconnect with the one force that truly moves innovation forward: people. Drawing on data, humor, and a deeply personal story, she shows how performance pressure, content overload, and reactive leadership pull teams away from the clarity, creativity, and presence required for meaningful innovation. Get a renewed understanding of the human factor of innovation and with three practical steps that help to move from producing more content to activating the human energy, connection, and clarity that create bold and original results.
