Thursday General Session
“The Future of Work and Pay: How Will Artificial Intelligence,
Data, and Predictive Analytics Change Your World?”
Josh Bersin
Principal and Founder,
Bersin™, Deloitte Consulting LLP
As technology advances jobs are going to change, organizations are getting
flatter, and people are getting much more connected. We are all becoming
more augmented by technology, whether it be our phone or our computer,
or some AI software. Innovation in technology is changing jobs to be
different and there are opportunities for professionals in payroll, accounting,
and HR to benefit from these changes.
Josh Bersin, industry-leading HR technology analyst, guides us on this
journey into the "Future of Work and Pay." He has advised some
of the largest and well-known companies on the planet, and
has been featured in such media outlets as Harvard Business
Review, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, BBC Radio, and
National Public Radio. Josh will present his research on the
paths that many companies are forging towards innovation
as well as separate the hype from reality when it comes to
this trending topic. You'll also hear from those who are
developing new technologies around AI and analytics
that you may see in the next few years, what it could
mean for you, and what you can take back to your
company in order to prepare.
