Workforce challenges are one of the sector’s biggest threats – and therefore opportunities.  In this session we consider what the workforce of the future needs to look like and how that will shift the norms and practices understood and embedded in the leadership practices of earlier generations. Indeed, will the C-suites of the future differ from those we know today.  How do we equip those coming through the ranks and ensure we don’t lose vital skills learned through different business models and leadership styles.

In particular we will explore:

1) How to get the best performance out of hybrid and flexible frameworks?
2) How do we upskill our workforce in AI, data science, automation and sustainability?
3) What is the pace at which we should recruit non-traditional roles such as data analysts, software engineers and digital managers?
4) How do we ensure we embed leadership, communication and business skills?
5) It’s said that Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast. How do we ensure culture becomes a competitive force?
