The Next Organisations

The organisations we work in today have evolved to meet the needs of their time. What will the organisations of the future look like? What are the early indicators that are apparent now if you look for them that organisations may be structured differently to better meet the challenges of our increasingly fast paced, connected and complex world.

In this session we will share the evolving trends in organisational development and explore what this could mean for us in terms of human development if we are to meet the needs of the Next Normal.
