Human-Centered Leadership
The art of moving people in the age of AI
Inspire
Artificial Intelligence is transforming our workplace: some roles shift, some disappear, new ones emerge.
“AI can automate tasks. It cannot build trust.”
For leaders, this raises a simple but big question: How do we inspire and guide people in this new reality?
Three promising high-level moves:
Strategically embed a human-centered approach
Prioritize empathy in leadership development
Strengthen human touch points with clients and employees in tech driven journeys
In the keynote, we turn these into practical steps and hands-on examples.
Format
30-40 min keynote + Q&A
In English or German
For CEOs, leaders, entrepreneurs and change managers
