  • Why We Underestimate Boring Conversations

    Why We Underestimate Boring Conversations
    Oct 28 2026
    Why do we often misjudge whether a conversation will be enjoyable? In this episode of the INSEAD Knowledge podcast, Nadav Klein, Associate Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD, explains why even apparently boring topics can lead to engaging conversations. Drawing on his research, Klein explores how curiosity, attentiveness, humour and genuine interaction matter more than the subject itself—and what this means for leaders communicating with their teams.

  • Decoding the Language of Conspiracy

    Decoding the Language of Conspiracy
    Sep 30 2026
    Conspiracy theories aren't a sign of poor judgement or personality flaws. Constructed from a shared language, they actually offer a means for someone to try and make sense of an uncertain or stressful event.

    That's according to Henrich Greve, Professor of Entrepreneurship at INSEAD, speaking on this episode about his new book, co-authored with Stanford University's Huggy Rao: Ctrl+Alt+Doubt: Decoding the Language of Online Conspiracy Talk.

    Greve explains why anyone can end up believing in conspiracy theories, how "gateway" theories work like gateway drugs, why the calmest, most rational-sounding posts spread the furthest, and why people often hold several contradictory theories at once as a kind of psychological safety net.

    The conversation also covers real-world harms, from vaccine hesitancy and the return of measles to South Africa's HIV denialism and the January 6th Capitol attack, before turning to what actually works, and what doesn't, in slowing the spread of harmful conspiracies.

    02:03 Why the book was written, and what past research got wrong

    30:28 Conspiracy theories at state level: South Africa, Russia, January 6th
    34:04 What actually works, and doesn't, in limiting the spread
    40:34 Closing thoughts and where to find the book

  • A Healthier, More Personalised Future for Asia?

    A Healthier, More Personalised Future for Asia?
    Aug 25 2026
    In this edition of the INSEAD Perspective: Spotlight on Asia” podcast series, Sameer Hasija, Dean of Asia at INSEAD, speaks with Suhina Singh, co-founder of Singapore-based Jonda Health, about how AI is reshaping healthcare and why Asia has proved an early adopter when it comes to embracing its potential. They discuss why global AI healthcare spend hit US$37 billion in 2025 and is set to nearly double its share of the industry by 2030, and explore how the technology is compressing drug discovery timelines and reshaping diagnostics, treatment and clinical workflows. Singh explains how Asia's aging populations (Japan, South Korea) and digitally native youth are both driving adoption for different reasons, and how governments are accelerating change, even as rural and lower-income communities risk being left behind. Drawing on her experience building JondaX, Singh also gets candid about the real technical and regulatory challenges of deploying large language models in healthcare, where privacy, accuracy and quality control are non-negotiable. The conversation closes with a broader question: if AI can transform something as complex as healthcare, what can other industries — education included — learn from this customer centric approach?
