Adaptability, fluency and flexibility. These are the essential skills of business leaders as they face the coming decade, in which 59% of workers will need to completely re-skill. This isn't just a challenge – it's a matter of survival, defined by rapid technological shifts and unique local complexities.
The Big Business Insights podcast, hosted by Blessing Utete, the Commercial Executive Head at Old Mutual Corporate, asks how big businesses can thrive in the future, instead of scrambling to keep up.
Blessing is joined by Valter Adão, a TEDx Speaker and expert in the fields of disruptive innovation and business re-imagination, and CEO of Cadena Growth Partners. Also contributing to the conversation is scientist-practitioner, HR executive, keynote speaker, and global advisor Dr Dieter Veldsman. Dieter is Chief HR Scientist at the Academy to Innovate HR, and professor of practice at the University of Johannesburg.
The discussion covers what keeps executives up at night, why HR demands a strategic role, and some habits leaders can adopt to prepare for the unknown.
Tune in to discover why a company culture that encourages experimentation and informed risk-taking is the foundation for technology adoption that can truly move innovation forward and deliver on your goals.
