Guest: Alicia Pittman, Global People Chair – Boston Consulting Group

Fast and furious: that’s how change is hitting our workplaces with AI, multiple generations, and more. Yet Boston Consulting Group has figured out how to turn those changes into advantages. Their Global People Chair, Alicia Pittman, shares how to unlock all that potential in your business, too.

Here's what Alicia and Maureen cover:

  1. Why BCG started reverse mentorships, and how that energizes their teams;
  2. What an exoskeleton does for the organization; and
  3. Why you can’t just “stay in your lane” of expertise any more…and what to do instead.
