The conversation
What does good leadership look like when the tools keep changing?
AI invites organizations to rethink how work gets done. It also brings questions that technology alone cannot answer: Who decides? Who benefits? And who is accountable?
This imagined symposium makes room for those questions through discussion, case studies, and hands-on reflection. The program below is entirely illustrative.
