Building Resistance: How to 'find the human' in your role - and save your job

Event Overview

How hard would it be for an AI to replace you in some of your primary job functions?

This is a question that needs to be urgently and repeatedly asked over the next few years by everyone in knowledge work - including those sitting in or working toward the C-suite.

With a bit of analysis, we can each develop a unique 'risk metric' - measuring how likely we are to be automated out of our roles.

That's a compass useful for navigating the uncertain seas ahead, as the widespread adoption of AI fundamentally reconfigures the value of almost all knowledge work.

What you’ll learn:

  • Separating fact from hype in the impacts of AI on employment;
  • What kinds of tasks can be automated easily?
  • What kinds of tasks 'resist' automation?
  • How to analyse your role to find points of 'resistance' to automation;
  • How to refocus your career arc - and keep ahead of the wave of automation;
  • How to 'make friends' with AI, to make your work more interesting.

Who should attend:

All organisational roles - this is a technique that can be used at every level and in every role. Particular emphasis on 'pure' knowledge workers and those in the early years of their careers, as both are most vulnerable to automation-based redundancies.
