Discovering the Human Future of Work — Virtual Event Notes & an invitation to join in the fun

Speculating about what’s next for the workplace has become quite the hobby. Will it be place-bound or not? Will AI take jobs or create new ones? How can we scale systems but retain our humanity? With the support of Emeritus, the team at Valize is partnering with subject matter experts and leading Human Resources professionals to consider these questions and many more.

Our challenge is to explore new organizational models that balance necessary structure with the possibilities offered by emerging technologies and management approaches. People have been talking about flexible work, employee empowerment and flattening hierarchies forever but now we see real situations in which these principles can be implemented at scale.
