Roundtable Discussion
“As the technology becomes more and more powerful, as the tools enable us to do more things, by definition that means we have more power to shape the world.” – Erik Brynjolfsson, Director, Digital Economy Lab at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI
Unlocking Employee Potential with AI
AI is a defining technology that is transforming the way we work, creating a paradigm shift on par with the introduction of the PC. Yet, the profound impact of AI isn’t without its challenges – need for a clear vision, and a culture that can enable AI and the need for organisational upskilling. Leaders aspiring to harness the positive force of AI must foster an environment that thrives on agility, reimagines work processes, and invests profoundly in human skills.
In this session, Amy Coleman will share how Microsoft is thinking about AI for its own employees, and how they plan to evolve their culture and their workforce to achieve the maximum value from AI.
Amy will share valuable insights on embracing adaptive leadership, deconstructing job roles to unlock AI’s full potential. This exclusive opportunity allows you to engage in a conversation and exchange insights on the top-of-mind issues for both Microsoft and HR leaders:
- The impact of AI on the labour market: Addressing the evolving skill requirements in an era of rapid change and technological advancement.
- Adaptive leadership: Explore the critical role of adaptive leadership in navigating through the change.
- Organisational transformation: Fostering workforce adaptability and competitiveness.
