Keynote
For many of us, the future seems to be arriving at an ever quicker pace, bringing it with it more complex, wide ranging, interconnected, and potentially bewildering shifts and changes that are reshaping the inner and out worlds for ourselves and our organisations. At the heart of many of these developments are technologies such as AI that are starting to impact how we work, how we live, and even how we find love. In this provocative, insightful, and inspiring session, Rohit will use story telling to help us think about how we can communicate these developments, the possible futures they are enabling, and their resulting implications to help our organisations accelerate our responses to change. He will leave us with practical strategies to help respond to these shifts at the personal, professional, and organisational level.
