Leveraging digital technology to reimagine the workplace and the
workforce of the future will be the focus of the ISG Future
Workplace Summit, hosted by global technology research and advisory
firm Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), in New York,
March 9–10.
The day-and-a-half event, at the Convene WellSaid event space in
midtown Manhattan, will examine how the future of work, the
workplace and the workforce intersect, through plenary sessions,
deep-dive breakouts, one-on-one meetings with ISG advisors and
hands-on technology demonstrations in the ISG Innovation Lab.
“Technology promises to boost employee collaboration, increase
efficiency, drive down costs and build stronger teams,” said Julie
Fernandez, partner, ISG HR Technology. “But the workforce is
changing. Today’s enterprises must attract, engage and retain
employees with both technological and human-centered approaches. At
our summit, some of the world’s leading enterprises will share how
they manage their employees’ experience and foster a culture of
collaboration among members of today’s evolving, digitally savvy
workforce.”
Jeremy Balkin, head of innovation, HSBC Bank, and Nisreen
Farhan, advisor, digital transformation for the International
Monetary Fund, will deliver keynote presentations at the event.
Additional speakers include Rachel Setton, director, employee
engagement and communications, Chevron, who will participate in the
panel discussion, “Succeeding in the New World of Work,” focusing
on how to prepare for a continually changing workplace and talent
ecosystem, and Christine Trodella, head of Americas, Workplace from
Facebook, who will take part in “Transforming People & Data
into a Meaningful Employee Experience,” a panel discussion that
will look at how data and analytics can be used to assess and
modify work processes, technologies and overall employee
experience.
Jeff Martin, a member of the Workplace Experience team at Wells
Fargo, will participate in the panel discussion, “Managing the Four
Generations of Talent in 2025,” with ISG Partner Stacey Cadigan.
With four generations of employees now working together, Martin and
Cadigan will discuss how to adapt employee learning and development
programs for an increasingly digital, global and mobile workforce,
and explore the tools that can improve retention, engagement and
satisfaction.
Another session, “Embracing the Cognitive Enterprise,” will look
at how digital labor can work in concert with human labor to drive
productivity by using cognitive automation to augment—rather than
replace—humans. ISG Partner Scott Furlong will moderate the panel
discussion with Peter Cavanaugh, ecosystem transformation leader at
GE; Adrienne Rowe, head of workplace strategy and solutions for
Merck, and Katy Rizo, manager, culture and engagement for Allegiant
Air. The panelists will reveal how their companies are building a
resilient culture despite constant change, preventing digital
overload and using cognitive technologies to enhance workplace
design.
“With physical and virtual teams collaborating daily, digital
technologies drive work-life experience,” Furlong said. “This is a
trend that will only intensify in the workplace of the future,
where innovative workplace solutions will include the use of bots,
wearables, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things to
adapt in real-time to the needs of workers and the workplace.”
The agenda also features the ISG Startup Challenge, in which
tech startup entrepreneurs will pitch their innovative business
solutions and technologies to a panel of judges. Contestants
include Angela Antony, CEO and founder of Scoutible, the world's
first video game-based artificial intelligence for hiring that uses
immersive mobile games to identify a person's unique cognitive and
personality attributes through gameplay, and Corey Davis, founder
and CEO of DaysToHappiness, a next-gen employee experience
platform. The winner will be chosen through a live audience
poll.
The ISG Workplace Summit is sponsored by HCL, Visier, ADP and
Capgemini. Media partners include CIO Review and the International
Association for Human Resource Information Management (IHRIM). An
ISG Future Workplace Summit for the EMEA region will be held in
London, May 5–6. For more information on the ISG Future Workplace
