Future of Work: DIGITAL Leadership in a Hybrid World

2023 is putting everyone’s (digital!) leadership skills to the test.

Leaders are under a lot of pressure to perform in the new global and virtual world of work. As we navigate a time of constant change, the only certainty is that more change is coming. Our response today will dictate our success tomorrow, requiring a new level of adaptability, agility, and digital leadership.

So how do we move past uncertainty – to adapt and thrive in a radically evolving future? How do we inspire individual team members to become great teammates while working remotely? What if our teams were not only driven to achieve goals with each other but for each other? 

With years of experience leading remote teams across North America and Europe, Marom will show your organization how to build the teams and the leaders of tomorrow.

Learn techniques and tools that you can apply immediately to cultivate high performance and agility in your remote workforce. Marom will introduce new ways to transform implicit assumptions into explicit action and help you set the foundation for an inclusive culture rooted in psychological safety.

The Power of AI: Unleashing a New Era

In this provocative and inspiring keynote, Lital Marom will guide the audience through a journey into a world reshaped by the most disruptive organizations and artificial intelligence (AI) and Generative AI (GenAI) – a journey that will illuminate a future created by the intertwining of human potential and machine capabilities.

Marom will challenge the conventional wisdom of disruption. In the age of AI,  disruption is no longer about displacing old technologies with new ones. It’s about reimagining the very way we think, work, and lead. It’s about harnessing the power of AI to challenge the status quo, transcend barriers, and create new value.

She will dive deep into real-life AI examples and strategies, from industries as diverse as healthcare and entertainment to education. By exploring these examples, attendees will gain insights into how AI is not merely reshaping our existing world but actively constructing a new one.

Keynote takeaways:

  1. Uncover the potential of AI to democratize innovation and understand how to leverage it in your own business.
  2. Explore strategies that combine human creativity with AI capabilities, focusing on a collaborative rather than competitive approach with technology.
  3. Identify the key skills needed in an AI-dominated workplace and methods to foster continuous learning, adaptability, and creativity.
  4. Understand the significance of ethical AI practices that ensure the benefits of technology reach everyone, considering potential issues of bias and inequality.
  5. Reframe disruption as an opportunity for growth. Change your perspective on disruption, viewing it as a springboard for innovation,  growth, and progress rather than a hurdle.
  6. Develop a proactive mindset towards shaping the future, understanding the importance of taking an active role in this transformative era.
