Why the Future of Work is Human (and Digital)

Whether it’s self-check lines at the supermarket, self-driving cars on the road or the emerging use of cryptocurrency, the world around us is changing rapidly.

For organizations–and their digital leaders–it’s essential to roll with the times and adapt or face turbulence and even extinction. It’s that simple.

Some of the growing trends include the use of robotic process automation (RPA), machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). On the one hand, these technologies bring with them exciting opportunities in terms of productivity and high-skilled work. On the other, there is growing concern about the impact on people–the strength of any organization. Done poorly, the results can be disastrous, particularly for morale. Planned well, though, the transition can be smooth and even make a company stronger by helping impacted staff learn new skills and gravitate to new roles, resulting in less turnover and increased job satisfaction.

In this session, I will share through proven and pragmatic change management practices, how you can proactively lead through the transition to a new future. You will learn how to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, remain productive and employable. And, you will walk away with actionable insights you can apply to any digital transformation initiative.

Learning Objectives:

• What is the Fourth Industrial Revolution and why people play a key role in it.
• What digital leaders can do to proactively lead through the transformation to a new future.
• Three actionable ways to sustain digital transformation.
