The Human Originality Advantage
AI is making intelligence abundant. Your competitors can buy the same tools you can. What sets you apart now is the thinking only your people can do.
Trusted by
Every organization now has access to the same machine intelligence. It writes the same reports, suggests the same ideas and reaches the same conclusions, for you and for your competitors. When everyone has the same answers, answers stop being an advantage.
Becoming common
What anyone can now buy.
Staying rare
What only your people bring.
Your differentiator
It lives in your culture and your people. It can’t be downloaded, licensed or copied by a competitor. But it can be developed, and that’s where Sally comes in.
You’re a CEO or on an executive team, you lead innovation, strategy or transformation, or you’re a people, HR or L&D leader responsible for how your organization thinks.
A note from Sally
For decades, I’ve been helping some of the world’s largest organizations: teaching resilience through innovation, and unlocking the potential of their people. I’ve been alongside them through the good times and the hard times.
Lately, I keep hearing the same thing. Leaders are under pressure to adopt AI and adapt to a world that’s changing faster than anyone planned for. Uncertainty is high, and the path forward is hard to see.
“How do we adopt AI without losing what makes our company great: our people?”
The answer isn’t choosing between people and AI. It’s investing in the thinking AI can’t do for you, at the very moment AI has become critical to success.
Done well, people and AI together are incredibly exciting, and incredibly powerful. That’s the Human Originality Advantage.
Sally Dominguez
Futurist, inventor and educator
Sally Dominguez helps leaders and organizations build the capabilities that keep them original, and develop their teams’ collective intelligence into a key asset for future growth.
01
A clear plan for using AI to amplify your people’s thinking rather than replace it, so adoption builds confidence instead of anxiety.
02
Adventurous Thinking: practical tools for original thinking, taught at Stanford and used with NASA, Sony and IKEA. Your people apply them to real challenges, not hypotheticals.
03
Ideas your people develop together, building on each other’s thinking until they’re strong enough to act on. Your teams’ collective intelligence becomes an asset for growth.
And now: Xpollinate
Organizations keep careful records of their money, their customers and their products. Almost none keep a record of their ideas: who had them, how they grew, and which ones were genuinely new.
Xpollinate changes that. It’s Sally’s innovation platform: a shared space where your people develop ideas with AI’s help and build on each other’s thinking.
Over time, original thinking becomes something you can see, measure and grow, like any other asset your business owns.
01
Ideas are recorded from the moment they start, not pieced together later from memory and slide decks.
02
People question, add to and build on each other’s ideas, with AI helping them along the way.
03
It can tell a genuinely original idea from a merely popular one, so new thinking doesn’t get buried.
04
Every idea, and every contribution that made it better, stays with your organization.
A typical ideas tool
A digital suggestion box.
It collects finished ideas and ranks them by votes. The most popular idea wins, and the thinking that shaped it is lost.
Xpollinate
The whole story of every idea.
It keeps track of how each idea got better and who helped, so the original thinking behind your best work becomes an asset rather than a memory.
What leaders say
“Sally is a fantastic person in how she pushes the mindset of those she works with. Over the last couple of years she helped us not only envision possible futures but also see what exponential developments and key insights the future will bring.”
“Thank you for your incredible leadership and coaching!”
“I worked closely with Sally for the past year and she is truly a one of a kind talent. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious; she’s a skilled facilitator with the rare ability to get everyone in a room to be engaged, excited and participate in challenging and often uncomfortable exercises. She’s also a ton of fun to work with!”
“You're a rock star! I overheard people commenting on how perfect your keynote was to kick off ETS and set a tone of optimistic, creative problem solving.”

Xpollinate is Sally’s innovation platform. It’s a shared space where your people develop ideas, with AI helping them along the way, and build on each other’s thinking. It keeps a lasting record of every idea and every contribution that made it better, so your organization never loses the thinking behind its best work.
A keynote if you want to change how a large group thinks about AI and originality. An executive workshop if your leadership needs a clear position for 2027. An innovation sprint if you want your people producing real ideas, and evidence of what they’re capable of.
December dates and locations are being confirmed now. Tell us where you’re based and what you have in mind, and Sally will let you know what’s possible.
Yes. December is when Sally is in Europe in person. Keynotes, workshops and sprints can also be delivered remotely or booked for other dates.
A possibility-thinking system taught at Stanford and used with NASA, Sony and many others. Its five lenses (Negative Space, Thinking Sideways, Thinking Backwards, ReThinking and Parkour) give people practical ways to find ideas others miss.
No. Access for your cohort is included with an innovation sprint.
You do. Xpollinate was built to protect ideas that come from people, and everything your people create stays with your organization.
Tell us about your organization, where you’re based and what you have in mind. Sally will come back to you with availability and the format she’d recommend.
