EY helps clients create long-term value for all stakeholders. Enabled by data and technology, our services and solutions provide trust through assurance and help clients transform, grow and operate.
At EY, our purpose is building a better working world. The insights and services we provide help to create long-term value for clients, people and society, and to build trust in the capital markets.
At this event we are exploring what the Intelligence Economy really means for organisations — how it’s reshaping expectations around skills, leadership, and adaptability. Together, we’ll examine how businesses can stay ahead by building future-ready talent strategies.
Our discussions will cover:
How can organisations successfully blend AI and human capability to drive their goals?
How can organisations leverage the talent advantage to increase productivity and empowerment?
How do organisations manage the transformation this represents?
How can HR and leadership support teams thrive in a world that won’t stop shifting?
