Lan Tran brings a grounded, practitioner perspective on how organisational decisions are made — and how their impacts are felt.

Having studied anthropology, Lan understands how human motivation and incentives shape behaviour within organisational and cultural contexts. She applies this lens across nearly three decades in sales and marketing, working primarily with SMEs while navigating the commercial realities set by large corporates and government.

In recent years, her work has centred on innovative technology and complex selling, where success is determined less by the technology than by organisational readiness and decision-making. Through her work with EXTAG, a software platform supporting asset-intensive operations across mining, oil & gas and defence, Lan focuses on aligning stakeholders and enabling trials that lead to adoption.

She articulates why standing still now carries greater risk than measured experimentation in a world shaped by technological disruption and AI — and what organisations must do about it.
