We chase moonshots. We invest in AI, strategize, consult. Yet, true transformation often does not move fast enough. You’ve got the tech; now you need the magic. Transformation happens in the trenches, fuelled by the collective energy and commitment of every individual.In the post pandemic world, stakes of transformation are high and sense of community and commitment is at an all time low. In between layoff cycles, battles of back to office and AI disruptions, how can we take our people on a journey they willingly want to undertake ? In this powerful keynote, Dr. Tanvi Gautam unveils the missing ingredient: the power of narrative to ignite meaning, build community, and drive profound change to truly harvest the potential of your technology investments. Think about it: You’ve got the algorithms, the data, the cutting-edge tech. But are you truly moving anyone? Transformation isn’t about code; it’s about people. Themes covered include:
– Neuroscience of change and why the human ‘software’ is primed for connection as a pre-requisite for transformation
– Moving people from silos to shared purpose using a narrative so that transformation is about commitment not compliance
– How leadership in the age of AI is about becoming more human.
