Automation was supposedly the force reshaping the future of work – turns out it wasn’t technology, but a virus that disrupted everything. The digital workplace is changing and there are significant implications for employees, offices, and skills people need in an increasingly automated, remote, globalised workforce. This session will cover the D’s that are shaping the emerging digital workplace, based on research from MIT, London Business School, Cambridge University and Lancaster University, as well as practical lessons from BT and clients in many sectors across the world. It will also explore the hype around ‘hybrid’ work and the implications of divorcing work from both space and time.

Why you need to attend this session
The future of artificial intelligence and advanced tech systems (such as machine learning) Black and brown people, women, disabled populations, individuals living with mental health conditions and other marginalized communities is significant and can be both beneficial and harmful depending on the people designing, developing and delivering such solutions.
Taking a human-centered approach to socio-technical challenges means that instead of talking about technology first, we talk about humans first and then the relationships between humans and technology. Responsible AI pushes beyond compliance and tech policy, and introduces real lived experiences, examples and our own biases into the technology that we have grown to trust and rely on.
Session Key takeaways:
Who is this session perfect for?
Anyone interested in getting involved, understanding the opportunities and gaps of AI, and believe that technology should be a benefit to society and will help play a role in shaping that as our future truth.

The life of a leader is not an easy one. 64% of leaders say that they’d like to leave management, and that between 40-80% of their time is spent
on low-value activities. The situation is pronounced for female leaders in particular.
The big issue is that the demands placed on leaders by organizations aren’t just problems that can easily be solved. The challenges are often connected to another opposing challenge.
Do your prioritise performance or wellbeing? Do you act with authority or build consensus? Solving one issue exacerbates another, creating a vicious cycle of polarized tensions.
This session reveals how to break free from this cycle and navigate the tensions leaders face. We introduce four practices that leaders can use to create happier, more productive, and successful
environment for themselves and their teams.
Session Key Takeaways:
Discover why leadership is so challenging in our current workplace
Develop an understanding of what tensions exist and how they impact leaders
Insight into four practices that help navigate tensions, resulting in happier, more productive, and successful teams
Who is this session perfect for?
You are a leader within your workplace and want to learn how to get the best for yourself and your team.
