Digital Leadership Forum 2019

Why redesign an Intranet? Intranet redesign and more importantly what drove it, how measurement was used and why it was considered necessary

With constant rapid change in technology, machine learning and AI, boards find themselves in a difficult position: making decisions about technologies they don’t understand while having to be aware of the risks, to cope with regulatory challenges. This presentation will try to tackle how we use data to help the board make the right decisions.

How stories and our organizational values help to engage our employees. I will share with you how we engaged our people (and customers) in refreshing our values and how our internal communications strategy continuously evolves to improve the employee experience. Join me for some hints, tips and a little bit of positive psychology to get us thinking about how we can successfully communicate with and engage our employees.

The world of work has changed rapidly over the last 20 years, but despite this, our way of working hasn’t kept up. With the increasing use of technology, we’re working longer and harder than ever before and finding it harder to concentrate on one task at a time. The time people spend at work is less productive and it’s impacting on their wellbeing with increased stress and burnout. Jane Piper will cover how you can as a team leader develop a culture and leadership that allows your people to focus and perform at their best.

The biggest hotel chain in the world owns no rooms. Polls completely miscalculated the results of Brexit or Trump’s rise to the oval office while #MeToo has toppled heads of industry with social media. Digital enfranchises “new power”. Like previous centuries, its not until we are well into the next 100 year before we realize the real causes of change and how we can harness it. We need to make our ideas actionable, connected, and extensible to work in this new century.

You will receive a list of the topics at the reception. Please select a topic and join the respective roundtable. Breakfast will be served throughout the session.

Topics inlcude: how to trigger organizational change; cultural and competitive advantage that comes from effective communication; rise of AI (artificial intelligence); Influencer Marketing – is it worth it?;

Our series of real-life case studies is intended to show projects in which new technologies are successfully applied in a hype-free manner.

Patrice is going to show in his talk the many different applications of Artificial Intelligence, how he utilises machine learning at Searidge Technologies (aviation industry, remote tower & digital airport solutions) and what difficulties and challenges still have to be solved.

Also, Patrice is addressing the technologies used to achieve results.

What did we learn today? A fun session which summarizes the learning’s of today.

Arosha Brouwer and Loeke Ruijter will conduct a Digital Transformation Workshop about reworking work. They focus on both incremental and disruptive innovation, new business models and what needs to change in the modus operandi of large corporations.

Their research and work is concentrated on developing new work practices which lead to higher people engagement, productivity and overall performance.

Leverage data and technology to be more relevant and targeted.

We completed the migration of our ageing intranet from on premise to the cloud and have also in the past year seen exponential growth in usage through new community initiatives around our consultants technical areas of expertise. Both of these are the first building blocks as we look to embed a Digital Employee Experience strategy this year to allow our staff to stay on top of local, regional and corporate information through awareness and best practice usage of communication tools.
