Human Agency, Fear+AI: Moving Beyond Fear into Action

Are you leading people through AI transformation? Or exploring your own next bold move?

Join John Hagel & Tracey Grose for an experience rich in actionable insights and human connection for increasing your impact in a rapidly changing world.


As exponential technologies accelerate, individuals and institutions often respond with anxiety, paralysis, or reactive change. The Center for Growth offers a different path: transforming fear into curiosity, agency, and meaningful action that leads to impact. 


This interactive workshop combines a framing talk on exponential change and human agency with facilitated small-group exercises for self discovery and exploring new practices. 


At this Lunch Workshop, you will:

  • Engage directly with John Hagel on the practical steps for increasing your potential and impact and that of your team, too.
  • Practice new approaches with others on similar paths in facilitated small-group exercises
  • Gain actionable insights on how to build a structure for accelerated learning and exponential impact
  • Explore whimsical Charmaine’s Rooftop and panoramic views from its terraces to help spark your creativity, wider perspective, and your own passion of the explorer
  • Build genuine connections with others navigating AI transformation and exponential change
  • Leave with concrete practices and greater clarity about your next steps toward action and impact, for your team and yourself
  • Enjoy a lunch outside on the terrace or inside on a couch!

LEADERSHIP FORUM

The Irreplaceable Core: Human Emotion and Leadership in the AI Transformation

As AI reshapes the architecture of organizations, the most urgent leadership question is human. Human ingenuity is irreplaceable, and human emotion is at its core. It is the engine of trust, creativity, and collective intelligence that no AI system can replicate or afford to override. 


With corporate leaders driving scaled enterprise AI transformation, we will discuss the opportunities and approaches for leadership, organizations, teams, and collective intelligence.


  • What is required of leadership today to ensure that the AI transformation unleashes human potential in creativity, judgment, and collaboration? 
  • Human emotion lies at the core of the skills needed today such as curiosity beyond one’s own perspective and emotional courage required for navigating uncertainty.
  • How is the human-AI relationship evolving beyond the prompt, and how do organizations need this relationship to continue to develop?
  • What does collective intelligence mean for skills, projects, team formation, and outcomes across the organization?
  • AI Transformation means different things for different parts of an organization. How is this developing?


Don’t miss this high-energy discussion with corporate leaders driving the AI transformation, hosted by Center for Growth Inc!
