Panel Discussion Shaping the future of work

with Seep Gulati – Software Engineer, Department of Government Services; Rashina Hoda – Professor (Software Engineering), Monash University; Katrina Kolt – Transformation Partner, Aurecon

The Agile manifesto emerged over 20 years ago and with it came an infusion of new perspectives, ways of working and skill requirements.

We now find ourselves in a new paradigm. What will the world of work be like when reasoning, communicating and coordinating – all traits with a comparative advantage for humans – are more automatable by artificial intelligence?

How are universities and workplaces getting ahead of the curve to prepare students and those already in the workforce for what’s needed next?

What part will AQ, or Adaptability Quotient play in how we succeed in the world of work?

Join Katrina Kolt as she hosts a fireside chat with Michael Fagan, Seep Gulati and Rashina Hoda to explore how we can shape successful workplaces of the future.

Part exploration and part futurespective, we invite you to join the conversation as we consider disruption, mindset and skills and what it means for Agilists of the future.
