Emotionally Intelligent Leadership for an AI-powered future

As leaders create and navigate a future fuelled by AI, they need more than just IQ and “hard” skills to succeed. They need to integrate their cognitive intelligence with their emotional intelligence to build adaptable, resilient, and innovative organisations. These leaders have deep empathy for their customers and foster a culture of creativity and psychological safety among their employees. They are data-driven but also authentically human. This session will help executives understand the EPIC attributes that empower future-ready leaders—empathy, purpose, inspiration, and connection—so they can drive successful outcomes for their business, their customers, and their people in the new human+AI era.

Speaker: Lorna Leck, Senior Partner Development Specialist, AWS

Data-driven Enterprise: From Vision to Values

Organisations today understand the importance of making data-driven decisions and fostering a culture where data is central to driving innovation and making processes more efficient. But simply collecting data isn't enough. We'll explore the key cultural factors and the necessary technical and organisational setup, such as a data mesh, to make the most of data. As generative AI becomes more common, the distributed approach of a data mesh may be the best way to expand its use in organisations.
