WORKSHOP

Leadership in the Age of Centaurs: What the US Marine Corps, the CIA, Greek Myth and Chess Say about Leadership's Future

9-Mar-2018 10:55 - 12:55

In recent years, managers have been hearing more about robotics, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI), and their capabilities to transform business decision making. At a minimum, automation technologies put enormous pressure on firms to keep innovating. But what are their wider implications for leadership and management? This workshop will look at how these technologies are already being applied in fields such as retail, finance, consulting, law, journalism, and medicine. It will then seek to answer questions such as: What have we learned about good management in this ‘Brave New World’?; How do these technologies change optimal team structure and behaviour?; What are the implications for societies and nations? In other words, what do we already know about making the best use of teams as the impact of robotics, big data, and AI spread? To answer these questions, the workshop will draw upon examples and lessons ranging from Greek mythology, through board games, to the military leadership environment.
