This event is designed to challenge the status quo of conventional organizations. Our event speakers collectively believe traditional organizations can no longer adapt, manage and motivate fast enough to compete in the Knowledge Age. We need to rethink and reimagine organizations and work. We will share how to let go of traditional jobs, decision complexity and how our efficiency focus is leading us astray.

The Knowledge Age is about value creation, customer responsiveness and an unleashed workforce. In 60 minutes, we will share eight perspectives then summarize our experience in a narrative that will include HR moving from back office to front office, the powerful impact of generative AI, and HR as a profit center. In the afternoon, we will bring you into the conversation with panel discussions and identify specific actions that we can all take to transform ourselves and our organizations help us create the future organization.
