Human Agency, Fear+AI: Moving Beyond Fear into Action
Join John Hagel & Tracey Grose for an experience rich in human connection and actionable insights.
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.
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.
Participants leave with new actionable insights and practices, new connections for continuing the journey, and greater clarity for next steps in their lives. Lunch is included!
This experience can be helpful to people wishing to engage with HTW’s year-round innovation engine.
Join us on a journey beyond fear toward action and impact in your life, work and community.
Founded on John Hagel's many years of research, the Center focuses on helping people identify what truly energizes them, connect with others, take action even amid disruption, and drive positive impact.

The Irreplaceable Core: Human Emotion and Leadership in the AI Transformation
As AI reshapes the architecture of organizations from how teams form to how decisions get made, the most urgent leadership question isn't technological, it's 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.
We will discuss the impacts and opportunities of AI for organizations on teams, coordination, and collective intelligence.
- What does real‑time intelligence mean for skills, projects, and outcomes across the organization?
- Does AI transformation lead to dynamic team formation and re‑formation as conditions change?
- What is required of leadership today to ensure that AI transformation results in freeing humans for creativity, judgment, and relationship work?
