It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive change but those who can skillfully adapt to the relentless pace of workforce evolution. We must prepare the current and future workforce with skills that empower sustainable employability. Through a skills-first approach, we enable continuous adaptation and position organizations to survive and thrive amidst progress.
“Adapt or fade: Just as species evolve to survive, organizations must craft impactful workforce strategies to thrive in an ever-changing world.” 🌱
We have over fifteen case studies and interactive discussions on working smarter with AI to simplify talent strategies. Here is what you can expect that we will cover:
  • The importance of change readiness in today’s business environment: Discuss the significance of change readiness and how it can help organizations stay ahead of the curve.
  • Best practices for engaging and growing talent: Share insights on engaging and growing talent in a rapidly changing business environment.
  • Next practices for managing and developing talent: Discuss emerging trends and best practices in talent development that can help organizations prepare for the future.
  • Case studies on successful change management: Share examples of organizations that have successfully managed change and the lessons that can be learned.

  The 14th SE Wisconsin Executive Learning Exchange … will be a one-day, multi-track event providing you and your team an opportunity to collaborate with your peers and learn best practices from ELE's robust network of learning and talent development leaders addressing the top talent challenges of today’s C-level executives outlined in a Forbes article:

About Mica Vaipan

My life has been an ongoing transition from a command and control leadership style to an enabling & empowering one - I grew up in a ex-Soviet country and moved to the UK 20+ years ago. I started my career in investment banking (where command and control was the norm) and then moved into the world of tech startups where I quickly realised that telling people what to do wasn’t going to work but I didn’t quite know what else to do. Years later, I stumbled upon coaching because I was interested in behaviour change. Over the past 4 years, I’ve spent thousands of hours coaching, having worked with over 100 founders and leaders in tech companies. Developing the skill of coaching has absolutely transformed my personal and professional interactions. I call it a super-power - the ability to catalyse critical thinking, creativity and self-awareness in someone else without telling them what to do. Which I whole-heartedly believe is an essential skill for every manager. This is why I started RunYourself - a prompt-driven platform for effective peer coaching and team coaching. Blending expert coaching prompts on a spectrum of crucial topics with AI-powered support, our platform enables managers to have productive peer coaching conversations with other managers and more effective coaching, feedback, performance and career development conversations with their team members.
