As technology, once more, confronts us with a new wave of machines replacing human labor, one of the greatest challenges facing leaders today is finding ways to organize work that reinforces human aspirations, imbues it with purpose, and upholds our values.

After all, leaders lead humans, not algorithms.

Few words about the panel discussions.

Panel 1: Beyond Automation: Leading Through the AI Disruption  | Artificial intelligence is ushering in a new cycle of transformation for businesses, especially with the advent of generative AI. What changes do we foresee in skills, work organization, operating models, and strategy?

Panel 2: Data-driven Healthcare: Innovating with AI for Better Outcomes | Data and algorithms are unlocking the mysteries of biology, opening new avenues for treatment, and contributing to the efficient and effective organization of the healthcare system. However, while we look forward to the latest scientific and technological advances, we also care about our privacy and yearn for the compassion and empathetic attention of our doctor.

Panel 3: The Art of Never Settling: The Case Study of Interamerican’s Agile Transformation | Interamerican has recently concluded an ambitious agile transformation journey spanning nearly all of the company’s operations. What lessons can we glean from Interamerican’s experience, and conversely, what insights can Interamerican gain from the transformation journeys of other firms? As the leadership team strives for continuous enhancement, what advice would you offer them?

Panel 4: Breaking Bread: Reconnecting in the Digital Age | In an era dominated by virtual realities, the humble yet essential and timeless bread is a reminder of authentic relationships. The relationship between people around the table, between people and their nourishment, the farmer and the earth, the artisan baker and his craft. This panel is a contemplation on how innovation can coexist with tradition in nourishing the mind as well as the body and the soul.
