Lunch Panel: New Skills for the New Collar Worker

Tuesday, January 21 2020, 12:00 – 14:00 CET

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has created a profound paradigm shift that is affecting every aspect of how every organization operates. While this new era brings challenges, it also creates tremendous opportunity. According to a recent report by the World Economic Forum, while 50% of the companies surveyed believe that automation will lead to a reduction in their full-time workforce, it is also projected that 133 million new jobs will be created by the year 2022 because of these same technologies.

The session will explore disruptive ways of recruiting, training and retaining talent in the digital age. Panelists will discuss innovative approaches that enable career-readiness amongst diverse talent populations, emerging roles in the digital economy, and highlight policy shifts that support successful execution of these frameworks.

Lunch Panel: The Enterprise AI Compass: Navigating Talent, Governance and Ethics

Wednesday, January 22 2020, 12:00 – 14:00 CET

AI has arrived in enterprises in a form which, while still in its early stages, has enormous promise, especially to any global firm rich in data to support rapid decision-making and delivering meaningful insights.

However, in order to realise this promise, companies must address practical considerations such as how they will acquire skills, make sense of the market and manage data, as well as policy consideration such as how they will govern AI, use it in a way which is responsible and consistent with their values, and participate in the development of regulation and industry guidelines.

Large corporates have particular challenges around managing talent while dealing with the pervasiveness of AI. Excluding government agencies, these firms are also the world’s largest employers and AI can play a dramatic role in re-calibrating global employment levels, which is likely to have a knock-on effect on economic conditions, wages, and several other parameters.

In this ‘Human Experience’ paradigm, CMOs need to find the right balance between being customer centric, employee centric, and also society centric.

Chairman's Private Dinner: How will digital technologies reshape business and society?

Thursday, January 23 2020, 18:30 - 20:30 CET

From making knowledge more accessible to more people, and bringing more connectedness, to making our planet cleaner and even saving lives, technology has made it all possible. And the big benefits of bringing these big changes have traditionally gone to the big enterprises that had access to these technologies. Today, not only is the potential of technology to bring in greater and faster change infinitely heightened, the barrier to technology is at its lowest ever. Clearly, it is the application of technology with a viable business model and not the technology itself that is the game changer here. So, the secret that allows a company –incumbent or startup -to leverage digital technologies to make any tangible difference to business and society is: Mindset, Scale andDiscipline. Mindset to embrace creative destruction, Scale to think big, think billions and the disciple it takes to build business the old-fashioned way.
