The ‘race for talent’ is ever-present, and 20% of employees report experiencing work-related fatigue several times a month. Think there's no reason to panic? Think again! Demographic analyses predict that, in the next 15 years, we will face even greater challenges. “AI will solve everything!” proclaim futurists.

This keynote aims to inform C-level executives, HR leaders, and innovation specialists in a clear and transparent manner about the state of HR technology augmentation today.

What does the AI Act prohibit, and what does it permit? Addressing seven of the most common misconceptions about AI in the boardroom, this presentation delineates what is factual from what is not.

< back Curiosity: The Key Element for Creating a Winning Culture For Senior Executives More detailed information Every person is born with a healthy dose of curiosity. Some people can maintain this level through adulthood, many however see their original strength diminish over time. The same happens with systems like start-ups. Early start-ups have a high predisposition to exploration, only to see that this mindset deteriorates once the company expands, focuses on efficiency, conforms to rigid standards, and finds it harder to learn from mistakes. Curious organisations are winning organisations. They are intentional about how they balance exploration and exploitation. Curious organizations are more successful than incurious ones, especially in times of change. Not only are they constantly looking for ways to improve their current operations, but they are also constantly scanning the industrial horizon for new opportunities. In this interactive session, we explore what we know about curiosity, why it is important in our professional life and our organizations, and reflect on strategies to get better at it.
