How will your organization adapt when disruption and change upend your business, industry, and market? What does the workforce of the 21st century look like and how can you best prepare? To survive, and thrive, you must have the information to identify the issues, the agility to efficiently and effectively adapt and the tools to optimize your resources. How do resilient leaders respond to change and what are they doing to prepare for the unfolding technical advances and the next unknown? What are the tech enablers that support the strategic imperative to respond rather than react - to change and how do you stay a step ahead of workforce dynamics?
