Programs

AI + THE NEW HUMAN FRONTIER

AI seems to be everywhere today. We must begin by separating the hype from reality, and better understand how to capitalize on the potential of AI. Learn how the next generation of AI tools can expand human creativity and intelligence, not diminish it. This includes the crucial role of human oversight in creating AI technologies that enhance our capabilities and work alongside us. As AI evolves to take on more routine tasks, the essence of human intelligence—our curiosity, critical
thinking, empathy, and more—is not only irreplaceable but will become increasingly valuable.Get insights into how to leverage your most human-centric skills in an increasingly AI-driven world.

Key Questions:

1. How can you leverage time-based efficiencies in new ways?
2. How can you automate redundant and/or manual tasks?
3. How will AI drive new definitions of human-centric work and skillsets?

REIMAGINING THE FUTURE OF TRUST + TRUTH

Today, there is a growing vacuum of trust. And that vacuum is giving new urgency not just to transparency but honesty. Our future will demand that we choose trust – trust in each other; trust in strategy; trust in our society; trust in progress. And we all need to find ways to put that into action because trust has become a precious commodity. We are also living in a time where the truth is under assault. When the lines between what is real, fake, true and false are becoming more blurred,
reliance on human-centric solutions, not just technological ones, will become more critical.

Key Questions:

1. How can trust become something fully engrained into the ethos of the company?
2. How can you emerge as a more trusted company/brand/leader?
3. How do you define trust internally?

TEMPLOSION: THE ACCELERATOR EFFECT

Templosion describes the fact that the biggest of things and the biggest of events are happening in shorter and shorter periods of time. Everything from corporate lifespans to financial planning cycles to the way in which we communicate is becoming more abbreviated. And technological innovation is happening at breakneck speed. Time is being truncated, and our experience of time is in overdrive.

Key Questions:

1. How can businesses engage in truly long-term thinking?
2. How can business reward structures be redesigned for long-term (vs. short-term) results?
3. How can you speed up product innovations from concept to market in a fraction of the time?

GENERATIONAL COMPRESSION: REDEFINING GEN Z

Generations have long been grouped in birth year cohorts of 15-20 years. But generations are now seemingly refreshing every 2-3 years. Technology is changing so rapidly that kids only a few years apart struggle to have the same cultural and technological frames of reference. Understanding what makes this generation tick is critical for talent management, marketing, education/learning, etc.

Key Questions:

1. What do shifting values and attitudes mean for recruitment and retention?
2. What are the intergenerational tension points internally?
3. What will the future of education and learning look like?

THINK LIKE A FUTURIST

Being future ready requires not just lifelong learning…but forgetting. How do we begin to forget the stuff we’re holding onto that doesn’t serve us for where the future is moving? This requires getting out the “mental cobwebs” and seeing through new eyes. It’s about leaving past assumptions behind and approaching the ways in which we see the world and our organizations in a new light.
