What are their priorities when it comes to shaping the future of their workplaces?
The 2024 Work Trend Index reveals that AI adoption in the workplace has surged, with 75% of global knowledge workers now using AI tools. This shift is reshaping job roles and creating a talent shortage, making AI skills a critical asset for future hires and career advancement.
Join us to walk through the findings and get insights on how to take actionable next steps to lead your employees through this transformation.
We’re living through one of the fastest shifts in the history of work. AI isn’t just automating tasks; it’s fundamentally reshaping how decisions are made, how teams collaborate, and how companies operate. Yet most organizations are still structured as if work hasn’t changed at all.
There’s a paradox here: AI adoption is a top priority, yet many leaders are unintentionally slowing it down. Why? Because we keep trying to integrate AI without rethinking the systems, leadership behaviors, and incentives that determine how work happens.
To succeed in the AI era, companies must redesign their organizations to fully embrace AI—rethinking leadership, culture, and workflows.
This session explores how to move beyond fragmented AI efforts and build an ecosystem where AI enhances human potential, accelerates innovation, and drives real business impact.

Our talent landscape is facing a tsunami of change. Emotions play a critical role during such times, acting as the fuel for or against the transformation journey. Yet, all too often, change-makers fail to recognize their importance.
As the workplace evolves with the introduction of even more AI tools, it’s human creativity that can best harness them. Companies that nurture and cultivate their people’s creativity will outpace those who don’t.
Creativity is not some rare talent only some people have; we all possess it. But it is like a muscle, requiring exercise, practice and intention.
Delivered through the lens of the future of training, this session will discuss creativity, and will introduce participants to a flexible art-led toolset to practice unlocking and deploying the latent creativity within us all.

Humans have an inherent need to belong and be part of a group. This need dates back to our earliest days when survival depended on being part of a community. Building connections and maintaining relationships weren't just nice-to-haves; they were essential for our very existence. Although social exclusion no longer has life-or-death consequences, the need for a sense of belonging is still hardwired into our DNA.
Understanding and leveraging this fundamental human nature creates an incredible opportunity to elevate employee experience and build a thriving culture that inevitably leads to better business results.
Join us for an engaging session where we'll dive into captivating stories and explore the latest trends and tools shaping the future of work in these rapidly changing times. This session will ignite new ideas and inspire you to apply fresh insights to your business.

It’s almost ironic that Perdita turned out to be a world class hurdler, because that is exactly what her mother, an immigrant from St. Lucia, had to do to change the trajectory of her daughter’s life to something extraordinary – she had to overcome hurdles.
