The World’s Leading Champion Of Project Management And Strategy Implementation, recognized by Thinkers50 and is ranked #4 in the global gurus’ Top 30 list, author of “Powered by Projects: Leading Your Organization in the Transformation Age”

 

Far Too Many Projects And Far Too Few That Really Matter: success comes not from starting more, but from stopping what no longer creates value. Well, easy said; how it’s done?

Elke
Geraerts, Ph.D.

Psychologist and Neuroscientist, researcher at Harvard, St. Andrews, Maastricht, and Rotterdam Universities

 

How HR Builds Resilience in an Organization? How can HR help organizations develop the human and AI strengths needed not only to withstand disruption, but to continuously adapt and thrive? In a world of constant change, resilience is no longer just a human capability—it is the ability to build effective Human x AI Teams.

Magnus
Lindkvist

Leading Swedish futurist, author of “Minifesto” and “Creative Friction”

 

Future-Ready HR: Build Human x AI Teams Before It’s Too Late. How HR leaders can experiment, challenge assumptions, redesign work, and create environments where humans and AI amplify each other’s strengths? Because the question is no longer whether AI will transform work, but whether your organization will be ready when it does.

Theo
Smith

Author of “Neurodiversity at Work”, host of the podcast “Neurodiversity with Theo Smith”, Neuromine.ai founder, LinkedIn Top Voice

 

Get ready to break standards: a challenge to what we think we know about diversity, inclusion, innovation, and human potential. This session gives HR leaders practical ways to rethink assumptions, unlock talent, and create workplaces where employees don’t just belong, they thrive.
