Every organisation wants to become “future-proof.” Michelle Dickinson argues that this is the wrong ambition.

AI is improving at extraordinary speed. Robots are moving from tightly controlled factories into workplaces designed for humans. Skills that once created competitive advantage are becoming automated, augmented or obsolete.

Trying to predict exactly what comes next is almost impossible.

So what do we prepare for?

Drawing on her experience across AI, engineering and robotics, both building inside a Silicon Valley robotics company and continuing to advise organisations in that space today, Michelle takes audiences inside the technologies already reshaping work and explores what their accelerating capabilities mean for organisations and the people inside them.

She reveals why the greatest advantage in a rapidly changing world isn’t knowing what comes next. It’s developing people capable of adapting when it does.
