Description

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, aligning talent development with strategic business goals is more critical than ever. Join us for an engaging peer learning session where we will explore innovative approaches to reskilling and upskilling your workforce to meet the demands of the future. This session will feature member spotlights, showcasing real-world examples of successful reskilling initiatives, and expert insights from industry leaders who have effectively navigated the complexities of talent development. Participants will gain practical knowledge and actionable strategies to drive organizational growth and ensure their teams are equipped with the skills needed to thrive.

Announcing our Agenda and Author Talk

We will open with an Author Talk with Julia Hobsbawm. Julia has been described as ‘our foremost futurist of the workplace’ (Barbara Kellerman, Fellow, Harvard Kennedy School, Harvard University) and is an award-winning writer, broadcaster, keynote speaker and consultant about the past, present and future of work. Julia’s latest book, Working Assumptions: What We Thought We Knew About Work Before Covid and Generative AI – And What We Know Now, has been called “a must-read for anybody concerned about the future of work.” There is no better context upon which to build our conversation on talent and business goals. We will follow this Author Talk with Member Spotlights and small group breakouts so you might discuss and apply what you have learned.
