In the ever-evolving realm of technology, organizations confront the pivotal decision between embracing Generative AI and delving into the realm of Intelligent Automation. This dichotomy presents a strategic challenge as businesses weigh the merits of harnessing the creative potential of Generative AI against the operational efficiency promised by Intelligent Automation. The decision on which frontier to tackle first necessitates a nuanced understanding of organizational objectives and industry demands. Generative AI beckons with its ability to craft content, generate images, and foster innovative ideas, promising a realm of creative possibilities. Conversely, Intelligent Automation focuses on streamlining operations through robotics and process automation, addressing immediate productivity concerns. The crux lies in a judicious evaluation of goals and technological readiness, ensuring a tailored approach that aligns with specific needs. At the intersection of creativity and efficiency, organizations must not only decide which technology to adopt but also navigate the integration process seamlessly. Achieving the optimal synergy between Generative AI and Intelligent Automation emerges as a critical factor for maintaining competitiveness and fostering innovation. The transformative journey begins with a strategic assessment of current processes, future aspirations, and the unique strengths each technology contributes. As organizations embark on this technological odyssey, a well-defined roadmap aligned with overarching digital strategies becomes indispensable.

Businesses started embracing change management as a formal discipline around the time Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph founded Netflix. Since then, change has accelerated as much as Netflix’s delivery model. Yet organizations have not adapted to the new nature of change – which is fast-paced, ongoing, and disruptive. They continue to rely on methods, mindsets and structures developed when the pace of change was relatively controlled; when the dust had time to settle. As a result, businesses struggle with the transformation imperative of the new normal. In this highly dynamic and interactive webinar, Edmond will point to five mindset shifts that are necessary to move from sluggish to nimble. These shifts mean:

1. Rethinking the overall approach to change management.
2. Debunking the myth of the importance of Executive Sponsorship.
3. Moving away from the centralized approach to change capability building that has been prevalent until now.
4. Seriously challenging the usefulness of mainstream approaches to change management.
5. Revisiting how we deal with corporate politics during times of change.

In essence, it is about pivoting from sluggish change management to nimble change leadership. Edmond will deliver this webinar with the passion, humour and engaging style that are his trademarks.

The biggest change since industrialization is underway and the inevitable impact on societies, generations and the economy is only just beginning. Big oil is not giving up without a fight and it is a fight that affects all of us. But it does not have to be "us or them". There are common sense viable solutions to the transition away from fossil fuels. The unseen agents of change are smaller, innovative companies and individuals who are inventing the new future of energy, now, with great positive impact. Energy storage of our galaxy's central power system, the sun, is much of the answer but not the only answer. The winners will be those organizations and countries that can and will adopt these new and better technologies for generating and distributing electric energy, turning rate payers into consumers and finally into "prosumers"

Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness, and on the quality of your relationships with others. Given all the listening that we do, you would think we'd be good at it! In fact, most of us are not, and research suggests that we only remember between 25 percent and 50 percent of what we hear.

Clearly, listening is a skill that we can all benefit from improving. By becoming a better listener, you can improve your productivity, as well as your ability to influence, persuade and negotiate. What's more, you'll avoid conflict and misunderstandings. All of these are necessary for workplace success!

Learning Outcomes:
- Active listening to improve the relationship
- Active listening to be approachable
- Types of listening
- Traits of active listener
- How to become an active listener

Disruption cause by Covid-19 has created a world of uncertainty and scarcity that we’re unused to in most developed markets. This webinar shares a framework developed in emerging markets that can help you to successfully innovate in the face of scarcity and uncertainty.

Businesses around the world have gone from a world of abundance to one of scarcity. Supply chains are disrupted. And finance is as uncertain as it has ever been. And yet most of the popular innovation and business tools share one common theme, an 'abundance mindset'. They help us to identify what customers 'really want' or they find new and more valuable ways to deliver that with technology or business models. But ultimately, they are rooted in the assumption that if you can create a 'better' thing, customers will find a way to your offering. So, if you're trying to innovate in the face of this uncertainty and scarcity, what can you do?

There is an alternative, this webinar will share a simple but powerful framework and an accompanying mindset developed for innovating in emerging markets where scarcity is the norm. The framework can help you to understand the true barriers you’re facing to delivery and unleashing new innovation opportunities.

This webinar gives some innovation tools, tips and hints to help you innovate in scarcity.

U.S. Property Market is highly sought after by real-estate investors given the exponential appreciation in property value and guaranteed yields.
