Imagine a WORLD IN WHICH EVERYTHING 
THAT CAN BE AUTOMATED, 
IS AUTOMATED…

Not far from now, intelligent algorithms will affect decision making at many levels – be it in the private or business life. These changes will fundamentally change the nature, practice and challenges of leadership.

The Future Lab brings together business executives, digital natives, entrepreneurs and researchers join forces to anticipate how leadership will change with the rise of artificial intelligence and robotics. The goal is to develop a joint vision for current and future leaders to prepare themselves, their teams and their entire organization for the transition to come.

The Future Lab consists of two parts: An open session with the FLI Community on May 23rd 2019 and a small-group expert colloquium on May 24th 2019.
