Over the past three years, organizations showed remarkable innovation and responsiveness. HR led the way in transforming work models, embracing workforce flexibility and boosting accountability for employee well-being and equity. This took place out of necessity — extreme disruption forced a level of creativity and experimentation that seemed too risky before. The results expanded the boundaries of what leaders previously thought their people, systems and technologies were capable of achieving.
The opening keynote will explore how HR leaders can continue to boldly encourage remarkable change and innovation without a backdrop of extreme disruption driving extreme behavioral change.

Magnus Lindkvist, Futurologist, Magnus Lindkvist AB.
Whenever "The Future" is mentioned as a title or theme, it conjures images of shiny gadgets, burning planets, and big words. Useful in books and movies. Less so for leaders and managers. In a real-time world, the future must be transformed from a tirade of clichés into a management tool. Futurologist Magnus Lindkvist spent the pandemic years crafting actionable insights from how companies, entrepreneurs, and leaders made "future" an activity, not just a theory. Why is success toxic? What is exaptation and how can it spawn innovation? Why should we follow aliens? And what can we all learn from the Bee Gee's? Get answers to these questions and many more during Lindkvist's keynote session.

It’s never been easy to be a manager but mounting business pressures and shifting employee expectations in the past three years have made this hard job even harder. In fact, the average manager now believes that they would need to reduce their overall responsibilities by one third to do their jobs successfully. Otherwise, those managers will be at a higher risk of underperformance, and, when managers underperform, they will have a significantly negative impact on the talent outcomes (e.g., engagement, intent to stay) of their teams. This session will help Talent Management and L&D leaders spot the “early warning indicators” that can identify the managers most at risk and how to take corrective action to enable managers to lead high-performing teams in future.

HR Leaders are thinking bigger and bolder about the scope and scale of talent management solutions but often struggle to find ways to design solutions around the right root causes. Today, the root cause of performance or engagement challenges may lie in changes to the work environment, characterized by rapidly evolving skill requirements, lack of connection to peers and purpose, and expanded organizational complexity. Join this session to learn how to apply a foundational “Skill, Will, Hill” framework to understand the new talent landscape and determine whether a performance challenge or unmet opportunity is driven by a skills gap, motivation gap or work friction.

DEI progress is challenging to quantify. Most organizations track demographic metrics to quantify DEI, but they aren't sufficient to enable effective decision-making or follow up action. Measuring outcomes beyond just demographic data, such as internal mobility of underrepresented talent or ease of accessing conflict resolution mechanisms, can help you respond in real time to drive effective change. Join this session to learn which DEI outcomes to measure to enable action and remain bold amid rising pushback for DEI initiatives.
