on Leadership between Connectedness and AI

Leadership Horizon powered Tobais Grünfelder
More about the keynote:

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” – Arthur C. Clarke. This keynote addresses the question “What can we learn from magic when it comes to dealing with new technologies such as AI?”.

Participants will learn why AI is not magic and why it sometimes feels that way. However, it is becoming increasingly important for leadership to develop a Wonder Mindset.

When we are in a Wonder Mindset, we feel curious and open, putting aside disbelief, believing in new possibilities, and being able to dream again. We view problems as new challenges, and we do not rely on old memories as our only source of inspiration.

About Tobias Grünfelder:

As an intercultural trainer, researcher, lecturer, and magician Tobias Grünfelder wants to help rethink how we cooperate, lead, and live in contexts of cultural diversity. In the last years, he has worked as an intercultural trainer and research fellow at the chair of “Institutional Economics and Transcultural Leadership” at Zeppelin University in Germany. His research focus is on the transcultural management of international organizations and the associated organizational and individual learning processes. In addition to his research, he works as an L&D expert, magician, and facilitator with Abracademy.

Abracademy blends magic, professional development and psychology to create unforgettable learning programs for organisations.

bailey parnell leadership horizon
More about the keynote:

Bailey Parnell is the Founder & CEO of SkillsCamp, a soft skills training company, and was named one of Canada’s Top 100 Most Powerful Women. Bailey is a 2x TED speaker with over 4 million views. 

The age of generative AI has been unlocked. Like many human-made tools before it, this technology can be used either to support our organizations and people or tear them apart. Bailey Parnell is here to help you ensure the former. How can we use AI to boost our organization’s productivity and our people’s wellbeing at the same time? How can we harness the benefits of generative AI without compromising on the ethical treatment of our people? How can average people already use this to make their lives easier? In this dynamic and unbelievably cutting-edge keynote, Parnell combines a decade of experience researching digital wellbeing with another decade teaching businesses the skills they need to succeed. 

By the end of this talk, you will be able to…
● Grasp the core potential and challenges of generative AI in contemporary settings.
● Understand how generative AI will affect your specific industry and function.
● Explain just how generative AI connects to employee wellbeing.
● Strategically integrate AI to bolster your own daily productivity and wellbeing (at the same time).
● Proactively navigate ethical questions associated with AI technologies.
● Feel more confident navigating the future of AI.

Niels Cimpa for Leadership Horizon powered by MDI
Interactive ChatGPT Experience

We are thrilled to announce an exceptional opportunity for all our attendees to engage directly with Niels Cimpa, a ChatGPT learning coach, throughout our event. This unique chance will enable you to dive into your initial exploration of Chat-GPT in learning applications and practical use.

There’s a burgeoning conversation around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and an occasional need to kickstart AI projects. However, firsthand experience with Chat-GPT or other AI tools remains limited for many. This is where our event stands to benefit our attendees greatly: offering a spontaneous and guided introduction to these technologies matching your needs.

For instance, in a leadership seminar, while the foundational content might be delivered by a human, AI could handle individual exercises or queries more effectively. Niels also envisions significant potential for AI in autonomous learning environments, like online courses, where leaders could practice skills such as non-violent communication, receiving personalized feedback and explanations from AI.
