Keynote:

Fit for the Future: Leadership we need NOW for what’s NEXT

Leadership of the future needs nimble navigation.

 

We face uncertain horizons. There is plenty we need to contend with: climate change, global financial volatility, food and water security, escalating mental health crisis amongst leaders and workers. And then there are the opportunities: the rise of artificial intelligence, robotics, machine learning, blockchain.

The leadership of the past is not equipped to navigate this new landscape.

We need a leadership shift:

  • A shift in purpose from MORE to ALL

  • A shift from delegated authority to distributed power

  • A shift from resilience to adaptability.

In this powerful, thought-provoking and practical session, Zoë shares:

  • The six mega trends that will radically transform work in the next five to ten years.

  • The four critical shifts leaders and teams need to make in work, workforce, and workplaces.

  • The development mantra that will keep you nimble and forward-focused.

  • The three attributes of fit for the future leaders you need to develop now.

Based on the near future science fiction dystopian novel, The Olympus Project.
