The Spotlight

The future isn’t generous to those who wait or play it safe. With the actively shifting technological landscape, every student, organization, and professional must find a way to adapt in a dynamic future where change is the only constant. Most discussions about the Future of Work focus on the role of AI/Automation and the power of human potential is often an afterthought. In our conversation, Tim will discuss how in a dynamic future we must focus on what we can control as leaders and adapt to the constant state of change that will occur in society and the workplace.
