Join Melissa Clark-Reynolds for a lunchtime conversation on her governance journey, AI and the changing world of work.
How can directors prepare for a future that is changing faster than ever, and what can we learn from the experiences that have shaped our careers?
Join entrepreneur, director and futurist Melissa Clark-Reynolds for a lunchtime conversation exploring her journey into governance, the lessons she has learned and her perspectives on leadership and change.
Drawing on her career and governance experience, Melissa will share her thoughts on the future of work and what emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), could mean for organisations and their boards. Read Melissa’s latest post on her Substack, The BoardRoom Futurist: What if your next customer sends an agent to shop.
As AI reshapes how we work, what questions should directors be asking about workforce skills, organisational culture and leadership? How can boards embrace new opportunities while maintaining the value of human judgement?
This informal discussion will explore how directors can challenge conventional thinking, look beyond immediate pressures and help their organisations prepare for an uncertain future.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions, share perspectives and connect with fellow members over lunch. Number are strictly limited.
