Artificial Intelligence and The New World of Work

We are experiencing a rapid transformation of the world of work. Just within the few last years we have seen a dramatic increase in virtual work, gigwork, different forms of collaborations beyond organizational boundaries, and the use of AI. All these changes guide new thinking about how work could and should be done, and organizations are driven to experiment with different work designs.

In this event, IESE Professor Sebastian Reiche will share thoughts on trends and tendencies, and best practices, in the world of work. Furthermore, we will relate the topic to different settings and corporate realities in a fireside debate, with the insights from two guests: Ms. Lorena Prego, CEO & Founder of Prometeo Talent and Mr. Kwadwo (Kocho) Swiatecki Adu, CEO at Gray Matter.

This is an open event, and you are welcome to bring friends and colleagues. Free entrance.
