We are now in the second machine age, overcoming the limitations of our brains and infinitely increasing our knowledge power. According to technology optimist Andrew McAfee, this new machine age will reshape the very nature of what humans do in the workplace—and what they don’t need to do anymore, a fantastic world that is only limited by our lack of imagination. It isn’t the future. It’s happening now.
But despite what some may say, robots will not replace humans in the entrepreneurial sense. Andrew will share tangible ways in which IT is changing how companies perform, organize themselves and compete. He’ll help you rethink how your organization will work, interact, and prosper in an era of profound digital transformation. Develop strategies to balance technology and talent—leveraging automation so you can turn both your skilled and knowledge workers into innovators that can take on new challenges.
Ask a dozen CHROs what their talent worries are in 2022 and 11 of them will likely put talent acquisition at the top of the list. Ask Verizon CHRO Samantha Hammock and she gives a very different answer. Her main worry, she says, is managing career progression for high-potential employees eager to move into the next role but may not be ready yet. As far as finding the best talent to bring into the organization? “I actually feel pretty good about that,” she says. That’s because Hammock has built for Verizon what many companies lack: a formal strategic workforce plan that aligns talent strategy with overall business goals. She’ll detail how she did it in this live case study—and how you can too—insuring that you have the only thing more important than great people in this volatile, uncertain economic moment: A great people plan.
Attendees will be divided into peer groups based on title
