Agility 2.0: Digital Technology, Data, People, and Relationships

Human capital leaders and corporate executives are struggling to wield the full potential of digital technologies to help attract and retain skilled talent, rethink different types of employment relationships, and create diverse workplaces. This workshop led by the Columbia M.S. in Technology Management Program Director Art Langer, Ed.D. discusses how companies can build digital platforms for global workforces to tap into multiple sources of qualified and underutilized workers.

The series continues in January with "Leadership and Learning Agility: Missions for Climate, Childhood, and Social Change," featuring faculty and guest speakers from the Information and Knowledge Strategy program. The Human Capital Management program asks "Is an Agile Culture Even Possible?" in March, and faculty and guest speakers from Negotiation and Conflict Resolution will host "Transforming Professional Relationships" in May. In June, these four programs will come together for an interdisciplinary panel, "Focusing with Multiple Lenses," to discuss the systemic nature of the demands of today's workplace and how they impact structures, processes, platforms, and people.
