Work in the Future Conference - 4 Oct 2018
Organizations worldwide are facing a period of expansive and rapid change driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI), digitalization and new business models. These changes transform industries and the nature of work, posing considerable opportunities and challenges for individuals, organizations, and society. How do we manage this transition, and find ways to empower people through this process? This was the main question of the conference.
The conference was an exclusive full day of engaging conversations with business executives, distinguished scholars, thought leaders, and policymakers, co-hosted by The Jacob and Marcus Wallenberg Centre for Innovative and Sustainable Business Development, Stockholm School of Economics, and the Wallenberg Foundations.
