6 Aug 2019 | Embracing technology for a bright future
The ancient Greek philosopher, Heraclitus said “there is nothing permanent except change”, and our workplaces are no exception.
The invention and introduction of new technologies constantly shapes and changes the way we work and can have both positive and negative effects on the workforce. From inventions as old as the lightbulb and typewriter, to the latest technologies affecting how we work today, as new technology continues to disrupt workplaces, it’s imperative we understand the impacts of new technology, and how we can position our organisations to effectively support our people as our workplace biggest assets.
Through a series of presentations by subject matter experts and a moderated panel discussion, this event, the second in the 2019 QG Breakfast Series, looked at innovation in the workplace and the advancement of women through technology, focusing on the future of work and workplace upskilling, mindset transformation, and ethics and artificial intelligence.
At the event, attendees heard from:
- Brett Hall, Acting Executive Director, Jobs Queensland
- Peter Fitzsimon, Consultant, Strategic Transformation, Queensland Government Chief Information Office
- Fiona Habermehl, Asia Pacific Assurance Technology Leader, EY
- Nasa Walton, Chief Digital Officer, Residential Tenancies Authority
