Dr Richard Claydon is the Chief Cognitive Officer of EQ Lab, an extended intelligence network focused on the future of leadership, culture, management, employee experience and risk.
His research on value-creating behaviours in toxic, rigid, autocratic or strong culture organisational environments has been described as “a touchstone for future work in management and organisation”, “outstanding in daring and imagination” and “thinking at the forefront of modern discussion and debate”.
He designs and teaches the leadership module for Macquarie Business School’s world-leading, future-focused Global MBA. He has also designed MBA modules on change and organisational behaviour specifically focused on developing economies in Asia.
Alongside his MBA design, Richard has also designed a range of commercial programs, including masterclasses on Psychological Safety in Teams, Collective Intelligence in Teams, The Strategic Future of HR, Complex Adaptive Systems, The Future of Culture and Reimagining Leadership. He regularly designs and teaches bespoke workshops relating to these themes.
Through his work on extended intelligence, Richard created the Dialogic Innovation and Learning System (DILS), an online learning methodology that connects ideas and people across the globe in a highly engaging, deep learning environment. Over the two years of the pandemic, members of this extended intelligence network have designed and taught over 100 different online-facilitated, future-focused behavioural topics to a cohort of thousands of learners working across all continents, including Antartica.
