SOME OF OUR TOPICS
– Artificial Intelligence. If smart machines learn to execute more and more cognitive tasks – does that steer us towards a post-work-society?
– Gig Economy. If the gig economy grows further, will that eventually replace the 9-to-5 model?
– The new new workplace. Needs and cultures at work are changing radically. What about chairs, tables, rooms and buildings?
– Teamwork and Leadership. Why are so many companies changing their way of working together? And what are the learnings of self-organizing, hierarchy-abandoning firms?
