Other speakers include Senior Economist Ilaria Maselli, Neuroleadership expert Andy Habermacher, David Butler of Andrew Sobel Advisors, and Michael Chui of McKinsey & Company.
Attendees will develop a deeper understanding of the critical challenges and opportunities leaders face to better deliver long-term value. Now more than ever, our profession has more opportunities to help organizations achieve a competitive advantage.

The constant mental burden of ensuring that both children and the elderly are cared for needs to be recognised by managers, followed by an honest discussion with employees about how best to manage and support it.
Next year will see some kind of embarrassing calamity related to artificial intelligence and hiring. That’s according to Forrester’s predictions for 2024, which prophesied that the heavy use of AI by both candidates and recruiters will lead to at least one well-known company to hire a nonexistent candidate, and at least one business to hire a real candidate for a nonexistent job.
