Disruption, innovation, and empowerment: Shawn Kanungo at Amplify 2025

This November, the Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions community will gather for ELM Amplify 2025, the industry-leading user conference designed to connect, inspire, and empower legal operations professionals. With this year’s theme—Empowering Possibilities—the conference will go beyond innovation to focus on the power of community, collaboration, and bold thinking in an era of accelerated change.

One of the highlights of the event will be the keynote address from renowned innovation strategist and bestselling author Shawn Kanungo. Shawn is internationally recognized for his dynamic approach to strategy and innovation. His bestselling book, The Bold Ones, has been called essential reading for decision makers by McKinsey. Forbes has described him as the “best virtual keynote speaker I’ve ever seen.”

With over a decade of experience advising Fortune 500 companies—including 12 years with Deloitte—Shawn brings fresh, practical insights on how organizations can thrive in times of disruption. His work offers a blueprint for professionals seeking to embrace innovation with confidence and clarity.

Addressing today’s challenges

Shawn’s keynote, Strategy in a World of Disruption, will explore what bold innovation looks like in an age of accelerating transformation. Attendees can expect to be challenged and inspired by themes such as:

  • How to break from convention and think differently
  • Practical ways to embrace emerging technologies like generative AI
  • Reimagining collaboration to move industries forward
  • Leading with courage in the face of uncertainty

For corporate legal departments and claims organizations, these lessons could not be more timely. Legal operations leaders are navigating rising cost pressures, increasing workloads, regulatory complexity, and the need to demonstrate strategic value, all while managing relationships with law firms and implementing new technologies. Shawn’s insights will help attendees see these obstacles not just as challenges, but as opportunities to lead boldly and shape the future.

Amplify 2025: More than innovation, it’s about community

Shawn’s message aligns perfectly with Amplify’s theme of Empowering Possibilities. In his own words:

“Amplify isn’t just a conference, it’s a gathering of minds. It’s where knowledge meets community. When we come together in person, we create momentum that carries far beyond November.”
