Description

Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity — these forces are no longer temporary disruptions; they are the new reality of work. As organizations navigate an era of relentless technological advancement, shifting workforce expectations, and ever-accelerating change, the ability to adapt is no longer optional — it’s essential.

Today’s organizations must compress their five-year plans to two years (or less) to thrive in tomorrow’s fast-paced world. In an age where everything that can be automated will be, it’s imperative that people change before it’s too late. To meet this challenge, attendees of this dynamic session require a bold new approach to navigating constant change; they must lean into an array of uniquely human qualities — such as attunement, (true) resilience, and creativity — that are difficult, if not impossible, to disrupt. The future of work belongs to those who evolve before change demands it.

Attendees of this session will:

  • Familiarize themselves with the top reasons organizations fail to navigate constant change.
  • Understand how to operationalize and maximize change-friendly values to future-proof their career.
  • Become inspired to transition their organization to a change-friendly state of automatic and perpetual renewal.

This session is ideal for the following:

  • Leaders seeking to create change-friendly workplace cultures.
  • Teams seeking to transition from reactive survival to proactive thriving.
  • People seeking to improve their ability to anticipate and respond to change.
