                  Kavita will be discussing designing organisations for the times we live in. How our current organisational structures & systems are so counter-productive to the outcomes we want to achieve in the context of:

                  • A world that is more connected than ever
                  • Availability of knowledge that democratises expertise
                  • An education system that is slowly shifting to teaching people (and not just young ones) how to learn rather than focus on content
                  • A societal expectation that businesses pay more than lip service to shaping society
                  • Career paths that need to be shaped to meet varying expectations of generations and belief systems
                  • Need for our people to be change agents and path finders to respond to the VUCA times we live in

                      • And what leaders and professionals need to be thinking of when shifting organisations or dragging them to meet these challenges
