Panel | The Future of Work: Developing the Skills and Capabilities Required to Thrive 

As the workplace continues to evolve in response to rapid technological advancements, shifting workforce expectations, and global economic changes, organisations must rethink how they develop the skills and capabilities needed for long-term success. This panel will unpack the essential competencies that employees and leaders must cultivate to remain competitive and adaptable, and how different roles are going to be impacted by the impact of generative AI.
