PROFILE

Scott Ko is a strategist, transformative executive, social entrepreneur, and philosopher who has carved out a unique career path across business, government, and NFPs.

His portfolio is comprised of an impressive array of competencies, from organisational strategy to leadership development, from innovation and entrepreneurship to social impact.

He takes a human-centered approach to leadership and systems thinking that has resulted in transformative outcomes wherever he has worked.

As the former ACEO / COO of Leadership Victoria –one of the most distinguished leadership organisations in Australia –he revitalised its vision and steered the NFP from deficit to surplus.

As the Founder of ColourSpace, Australia’s first certified arts social enterprise, he created a start-up that pioneered how human-centered work environments can be delivered at scale, by transforming shared environments into dynamic galleries.

Today, Scott is passionate about one thing: Fostering greater curiosity in people.

Against the backdrop of constant technological disruptions, polarised communities, and a growing wave of mental health challenges, he believes that curiosity is a fundamental, innate superpower that can help us navigate uncertainty with confidence.

SPEAKING TOPICS

We are living in the most complex era in human history. Social disconnection, misinformation, cost of living, and competing demands -all lead to increased stress and burnout. Our old ways of thinking can’t keep up. Imagine a world where complexity is not a barrier but an opportunity, where we feel excited by uncertainty. To thrive in this environment requires a different mindset: The Curiosity Mindset.

Today’s children are growing up in a world that is very different from our own. Social media is everywhere, and while it connects our kids to friends and information, it also exposes them to new pressures, influences, and even risks. Many parents are worried—how can we help our children stay safe and balanced in a world that’s always online? Imagine a future where your child navigates life’s challenges—both online and offline with confidence and resilience. A future where curiosity helps them ask the right questions, stay engaged in their learning, and remain emotionally balanced as they grow and face new experiences.

A more ‘active’ experience where Scott works with a group of delegates, teach them a blend of curiosity mindset tools, sense-making tools, and startup tools to help them identify and clarify challenges that they’re facing and leaving them with practical actions to take away. Unlike a traditional keynote where delegates are asked to listen, this workshop invites participants to do the work for themselves and to experience the development of their curiosity, their skills, and their understanding in real time.
