Artificial intelligence is reshaping the nature of work at a pace that leaves little time to understand what’s actually happening, and what it means at the individual level. In this research-grounded webinar, journalist and author Jared Lindzon cuts through the noise to offer an honest, human-centred look at the current moment. Drawing on more than a dozen years of frontline reporting for some of the world’s most respected news outlets — and his book Do More in Four — Lindzon explores how AI is putting a spotlight on outdated workplace norms, rules and conventions. Through an exploration of previous periods of rapid change, the latest research and conversations with global business leaders and changemakers Lindzon offers a clear picture of the forces reshaping work as we know it to ultimately help participants navigate them with clarity.

Key Takeaways

• Understand how the skills in highest demand in an AI-enabled world differ from those of the past, and how to optimize the unique value you deliver.
• Gain a broader historical perspective on technological disruption — from the industrial revolution to the iPhone — and why the workers who fare best in periods of change are those who engage with it early.
• Identify long-standing workplace norms that are most ripe for disruption — and what the research suggests the future of work will actually look like
