Gen-AI: opportunities and impacts to the future of work
The last 24 months have seen the acceleration of Gen-AI into the mainstream. Organisations and individuals are trying to understand the impact Gen-AI will have and, at the same time, get in front of the opportunities it presents. A strategic advisor and expert on business analytics and AI, Evan Stubbs spends most of his time unpacking the complexities of blending technology, data and humanity in ways that work. The author of multiple books and presently the Interim Technology Director of Goodwork.ai, Evan will provide his insights on how Gen-AI will drive change for everyone.

Drawing on learnings to date, Gareth will share his experience of driving new ways of working, as well as some of the challenges and opportunities of operating agile at scale across the organisation.

The impact of ESG on transformation and change
Richard Griffiths is the Global Head of Growth at Edge Impact, a boutique sustainability advisory business that works with many of the largest and most progressive businesses in the ANZ region. With sustainability professionals describing the 2020s as 'the decade of action', he will share his thoughts on how ESG is rapidly becoming everyone’s responsibility, why we need to create a much more transformational approach in that context, and the challenges of supporting that change from an IT perspective.
How project practitioners can reduce cyber impact
Cyber security is more than a technology challenge. Cyber threats and controls span across every business function in an organisation. As agents of change, project management professionals have a significant role to play in minimising the impact of cyber incidents. Drawing on both her passion for cyber awareness and her in-depth knowledge of the modern threat landscape, Christina Arcane explains where cyber security intersects with project functions and how the project management profession can step up and get ahead of the challenges.
