Summary

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed our dependence on technology across every aspect of business. As we look to the future, companies will need to develop new management practices to support and reflect the evolving relationship between humans and machines. This session will explore this new dynamic and how it can serve both productivity and purpose.
