The Fourth Industrial Revolution is ground zero for one of the most important challenges our generation must address. On one hand, it opens the possibility of boosting organization results by leveraging exponential technologies in the workplace – e.g. artificial intelligence, robotics, analytics, biotech, but on the flip side it may negatively impact the concern about unemployment rates across nations. Among the top initiatives we envision for HR include fostering global mobility and using technology as a lever to transform the workforce. This session will help you:
- Lead your organization to desired results by understanding how to appropriately plan by leveraging the stakeholders within your organization.
- Understand that, as business leaders, you must be sensitive to the need of preparing your workforce to digital transformation.
- Show your employees how to produce value through different and collaborative ways.
- Understand your role and its potential impact during the transformation era.
