The speed and magnitude of innovation today is unparalleled — driving the radical transformation of the traditional workforce and workplace. No industry will escape untouched. The risks and rewards in this new era of automation and artificial intelligence are real, from balancing the clarion call for more transparency and trust in our institutions with mounting data privacy rules and regulations, to sustaining high levels of innovation and growth with a shrinking, aging, increasingly diverse and ever-shifting workforce.
