Section · Brain Health in the Workplace
The Workforce Conversation — and Slalom on Stage
Panel 2 of the summit put the workplace at the center of the brain economy — and put Natalie Richardson from Slalom in the room as a voice for fiercely human teams.
On Stage · Panel 2
- Natalie Richardson, MASlalomDirector of HabLab, Slalom Consulting
- Krystal Sexton, PhDFounder & CEO, Cognitive Capital Group
- Orlando AlvarezChairman & President, bp America
- Debbie Beck, EdD, MPA, FACHAPrincipal, Perkins & Will
- Jason Schroer, AIA, ACHA, LEEDPartner & Global Sector Director (Community), HKS
Cognitive load is an enterprise risk
Burnout, attention fragmentation, and chronic stress are no longer HR issues — they show up as missed revenue, slower decisions, and weaker innovation.
Workplace design is a brain-health lever
Architecture, lighting, acoustics, and team rituals materially shape cognition. The physical and operational workplace is brain infrastructure.
AI augmentation vs. cognitive depreciation
Used well, AI extends human judgment. Used poorly, it atrophies it. The difference is intentional workflow and learning design.
HabLab's behavioral lens on teaming
Slalom's HabLab applies behavioral science to how teams form, focus, recover, and learn — turning brain capital into measurable team performance.
Section · Google · The Future of Teams
Team Intelligence — the Operating System for AI-Era Work
Google's keynote reframed the AI conversation around teams. The unit of performance isn't the individual or the model — it's the team, and the conditions that let it think together.

"The Texas Brain Economy Summit demonstrated that Brain Capital is no longer solely a healthcare discussion. It is an economic development strategy, workforce strategy, innovation strategy, and human flourishing strategy. Houston is uniquely positioned to lead this movement, and cross-sector partnerships will be essential to turning insights into measurable impact."
Section 19 · The Slalom Lens
Why this matters to Slalom.
Fiercely human. Bringing more together.
Slalom is a fiercely human business and technology company that leads with outcomes and partners with leaders. The Brain Economy is the clearest economic expression of that belief: the engine of every transformation — AI, data, healthcare, workforce — is still the human mind.
Our 2026 AI Outlook called out a widening ambition-to-execution gap. Brain Capital names what closes it — the cognitive, emotional, and creative capacity of the people doing the work. Technology amplifies human potential; it does not replace it.
That is why this summit lands for Slalom. It connects our craft — strategy, AI, data, experience, engineering, and change — to the human conditions that make transformation actually stick: psychological safety, learning agility, resilience, inclusion, and trust.
Fiercely human
People at the center of every strategy, system, and decision — the same principle that anchors Brain Capital.
Bringing more together
Healthcare, academia, employers, public sector, and technology partners — the cross-sector model the Brain Economy requires.
Customer-obsessed, employee-empowered
Mental health, learning, and resilience are not perks — they are the operating system of high-performing teams.

Section 20 · Final Conclusion
A Fiercely Human Future for the Brain Economy
The Texas Brain Economy Summit made one message clear: the future economy will be shaped by how well we protect, develop, and activate human potential.
Brain Capital reframes mental health, cognitive health, creativity, resilience, and learning capacity as strategic assets. For Houston, this creates a powerful opportunity. The region has the population growth, youth, diversity, healthcare infrastructure, research ecosystem, and collaborative spirit needed to lead.
For Slalom, this work is deeply aligned with our fiercely human approach. We help organizations transform by putting people at the center of strategy, technology, and change. The Brain Economy expands that mission by showing that human well-being is not separate from innovation or economic performance — it is the foundation of both.
This creates a meaningful opportunity to partner with organizations such as Center for Houston’s Future, UTMB, Project Metis, Greater Houston Partnership, and regional employers to help turn Brain Capital insights into practical solutions.
Together, we can help Houston become a model for how cities, institutions, and employers invest in minds, strengthen communities, and build a more resilient future economy.
