Today the world has moved well beyond basic and enhanced process automation. It is entering an era of cognitive automation leveraging on artificial intelligence and robotics which the World Economic Forum termed as the “Fourth Industrial Revolution” (also known as Industry 4.0).

To ensure their readiness toward digital business transformation, most organizations would deploy state-of-the-art technology. But do they have a relevant structure and the right talent in place? Will they be equipped to attract, develop, and retain digital talent? Do they know what it takes to lead in a digital era which is expected to be more intense in the coming years? These are questions that many, if not all, organizations are grappling with as they seek to succeed in developing their next generation (future) leaders in the digital era.

Organization and leadership transformation is expected to continue in the near future in view of the insurmountable challenges posed by a highly disruptive, digital and VUCA-driven Industry 4.0[1].

Digitization has an impact on companies in various sectors. In each case, the impact is a different one which makes it essential for companies to have a good understanding and view of what they face and how Digitisation will affect their company: which opportunities can be seized and which threats have to be faced?

This keynote presentation will include the latest research findings on the recommendations to resolve the various organizational and leadership challenges that have a direct impact on the sustainability of organizations of all sizes across various industries in global markets including the greater Asia Pacific region.

This session aims to provide the following:

  • Leaving the session with a renewed sense of energy as time out from the day-to-day gives them space and freedom to think and self-reflect in today’s highly disruptive, digital-driven workplace
  • Gain a clear understanding of the context for successful leadership today’s Industry 4.0
  • Understand the importance of Cognitive Readiness (including Critical Thinking and Emotional Intelligence) leadership competencies in driving the organization to success in this ‘new’ normal
