Presenter: Stephen Parry Programme: New forms of adaptive organisational workforces: Faster adaptability is the new core competency in the new economy Themes The need for faster levels of organisational and structural responsiveness to changes in ICT and global business. The need to change the way we design, build and operate organisations to become more adaptive. How can we create managerial systems that can rapidly change organisations and increase the adaptability of the workforce? Sense and Respond Organisations. Lean Organisational Performance. Lean Organisational Design Principles. Abstract: Organisational structures and workforces need new forms of adaptation to meet the demands of new technologies and new competitive business models. Changing technologies, business models and competitive landscapes are today’s normal business challenges. However, few have the ability to adapt fast enough, let alone exploit these changing circumstances because of their traditional cultural approaches to management, measurement and people development. Focusing on a new form of adaptive management with an adaptive workforce is now the new cutting edge in developing a winning business culture that supports the change agenda within your organisation. So how adaptable is your organisation? A new research driven adaptive framework developed by Stephen Parry, Climetrics© will highlight the core features of adaptive organisations.

Large technology transformations and undertakings are challenging because they cut across multiple systems and domains of technology and solutions. They involve multiple organizations—from corporate to operations—making communication and collaboration challenging. This complication is amplified when the IT organization in these large enterprises engages multiple vendors. Krishna Murthy shares his experience on how to tackle such situations with customized amalgamations of the best traditional and agile program management practices―Golden Rules of Engagement. Krishna introduces a framework based on these rules to manage a large program running at four key levels―commercial, financial, technical, and personal. Two of the rules are (1) The entire project team—across multiple organizations—should experience the output as a single entity, and (2) Create self-forming, dynamic testing teams within temporary static team structures that can collaborate across boundaries. Join Krishna to learn about these and other Golden Rules that you should incorporate in your test initiative.

I'm excited to share my latest predictions on how AI, robotics, and other technological advancements will reshape industries in the coming years. The slides explore the exponential growth of computational power, the future of AI and robotics, and their profound impact on various sectors. Why this matters: The success of new products and investments hinges on precise timing and foresight into emerging categories. This deck equips founders, VCs, and industry leaders with insights to align future products with upcoming tech developments. These insights enhance the ability to forecast industry trends, improve market timing, and predict competitor actions. Highlights: ▪ Exponential Growth in Compute: How $1000 will soon buy the computational power of a human brain ▪ Scaling of AI Models: The journey towards beyond human-scale models and intelligent edge computing ▪ Transformative Technologies: From advanced robotics and brain interfaces to automated healthcare and beyond ▪ Future of Work: How automation will redefine jobs and economic structures by 2040 With so many predictions presented here, some will inevitably be wrong or mistimed, especially with potential external disruptions. For instance, a conflict in Taiwan could severely impact global semiconductor production, affecting compute costs and related advancements. Nonetheless, these slides are intended to guide intuition on future technological trends.
