The Emerging World of Work

Guillaume Alvarez is fascinated by the relationship between people and the places they work. He believes leaders can create a physical environment that is conducive to creativity, as well as the personal wellbeing of their employees and the business as a whole. We asked him to explain, and to also explore one project at Steelcase where the IT team’s workspace was redesigned to maximize the effectiveness of an agile transformation.

What do business leaders need to know about the future of AI? And, among all the fear-mongering about what AI will or won’t mean for human jobs, how can those leaders ensure they’re keeping humans at the center of this technological revolution?

Felix Hovsepian, an expert in the implications of emerging technologies on business, believes that AI, if used properly, will be of immense benefit to humanity. He also explains why the concept of lifelong learning is the key to human-centered, properly-utilized AI deployment.

Are entrepreneurs born, or bred? Can you teach someone how to think like an entrepreneur? What are the most useful skills? When are they useful?
