Unlocking Human Potential with Automation in the Post-Pandemic World
The impact of the global pandemic in 2020 caused organizations to make dramatic changes to their operating models to support remote work while also ensuring business continuity. These changes were largely fueled by IT and automation initiatives, and in many cases were implemented in record time to meet the needs of a rapidly changing environment. Analysts predict the momentum from 2020’s IT and business transformation initiatives to carry forward and we’ll see a similar, if not enhanced pace in the coming years.
This continued focus on automation will have an impact on the job market. By 2025 the World Economic Forum anticipates ‘the time spent on current tasks at work by humans and machines will be equal.’ However, most analysts agree that new jobs created because of automation will outpace jobs lost. In tandem to these automation goals is an accelerated focus on upskilling and reskilling of employees.
In this session we’ll explore how organizations in both the public and private sectors are using the momentum created in 2020 to redefine the workplace by unlocking human potential with automation in the post-pandemic world.
