Alex combines his own experiences, case studies and data to create thought-provoking keynotes that explore what the future might look like, and what you can do to prepare for it.
When we think about the future of work, we usually think about the things that are already here. Automation, remote work, the gig economy. The real question is not what is happening; it is what is about to blindside us next. Big insights, bold predictions, and a reality check on what is actually coming, without the doomsday scenarios or empty buzzwords.
We live in a world moving so fast that by the time you finish reading this sentence, three new tech trends will have emerged and two industries will have declared themselves disrupted. Complexity is not the problem; it is the opportunity. The difference between companies that suffer from complexity and the ones that thrive because of it, and why trying to simplify the future is a fool's errand.
AI and automation are changing the workplace at a terrifying speed. Forget the doomsday predictions. This is about who is using AI to work smarter, who is being left behind, and how to keep up. Walk away with practical strategies for leveraging AI before it leverages you, the skills that actually matter in an automated world, and a little relief that the robots are here to help.
We were promised flying cars, robot butlers, and Mars vacations. Instead we got self-checkout machines and TikTok dances. A fast-paced, entertaining ride through the hits, misses, and total surprises of technological progress, and what it means for businesses trying to navigate what comes next.
Alex Hagan recently spoke at two of our people related events, giving opening keynotes on developing the future workforce. His presentations were interesting, well researched and he is a polished public speaker who was informative and engaging.
Alex was the opening speaker for the HR Leaders Summit, which consisted of close to 200 HR, People and Culture leaders. He set the scene for the day and provided insight into what the human resource professionals need to know for their future profession.
At the Workplaces & Workforces of the Future, Alex opened day two of our conference and expertly connected the presentations from days one and two in a way that generated inspiration and actionable insight for the delegates. Alex engaged the audience in a tour de force of trends that are changing the world of work, and refreshingly, presented these changes as not only challenges, but opportunities. 100% of the audience rated Alex's presentation as Excellent or Very Good.
Alex really set the scene for day two and gave the delegates practical steps that they could take to create the future of work, not just respond to it. Alex is a terrific presenter and we look forward to working with him again in the future.
Alex's speeches are factual, fascinating and funny! Unlike other futurists, he provides audiences with valuable insights into the mistakes of those organisations that have suffered from complexity and applicable stories of those that have thrived in it. You leave his speeches inspired and with the knowledge of how to create your own future.
“Alex shook up my frame of reference and has changed the way I think about strategy and HR in general. It is easy to get stuck in one perspective and become an unconscious competent when you have been in one discipline for a while. This session absolutely re-inspired me and has changed the way I practice HR.”
“The work Alex does makes my brain light up. This was the best session of the conference.”
