A very exciting panel discussion is now to starting! Nadine Baudot-Tratjenberg, Kelly Skalicky and Fiona van Echelpoel are discussing: Is the future of money undoubtedly digital? If so, will this transformation of money as we know it fundamentally rewrite how ordinary people and businesses behave? What about the transformation underlying all these new methods of payment, the ‘underlying currency’? Ultimately, how do we determine the level of risk both businesses and individuals should take when it comes to this new nature of money, both the methods we utilize for payments and the underlying currencies we trust.”

Anticipate the Unmissable: Cathryn Clüver Ashbrook’s Think Tank on Intergenerational Leadership - Fast Forward to the Future of Work!🎉

The most recent UN Human Development Index highlights that we have lost five-years over the human life span due to overlapping crises and our failures to adapt and become more resilient. Much of this loss can be attributed to leadership failures: perpetuating models we have used for decades to solve problems that are decidedly different – future forward – and that will affect generations to come more than they will affect us. Isn’t it high time to break the mold and rethink intergenerational leadership, power dynamics and access?

This think tank will explore the state-of-play in intergenerational leadership and how we – by examining different models, sharing experiences and aspirations – might move toward new models of co-leadership that can anticipate challenges ahead and accelerate solutions.
