Optimizing Your Future of Work
The world is going through a Workquake. How we work, where we work, when we work and even our relationship with work is going through a metamorphosis unlike any moment in history. Most of the architecture of work that organizations use today was built for a slower pace of change than what the workplace is experiencing today. And these old models, built for another time, are being challenged and stressed like never before, In this class, Steve Cadigan, a world renowned future of work expert, will review some of the macro trends that are shaping the working world. Steve will discuss how the need for new skills, the rise of new industries, and the transparency to new opportunities & careers are massive changes shaping the future of work. While these changes are creating numerous challenges for organizations and professionals, they are also presenting rare opportunities. This class will be an engaging overview of how leaders and professionals can take advantage of this moment and build an awesome future of work.

AI and You
Every organization today is facing an onslaught of pressure to master Artificial Intelligence “AI” strategies across their enterprises. Never before have we witnessed such a steep expectation for how a “technology” can transform a business, and never before have leaders been expected to leverage a technology so quickly and so completely. There is no denying AI presents perhaps the opportunity of a lifetime to transform and improve operations, but to date few plans or roadmaps on how to unlock the promise of AI exist. In this session, Steve Cadigan, a globally renowned future of work expert, will present a practical plan for how you can build your own AI strategy, and how you can thrive in the AI revolution. As part of this talk/workshop Steve presents a 5 step process to ensure you are focused on the right things when building an AI strategy.

Building a Better Future of Work
We are in the midst of a tidal wave of change in the world of work. As we enter 2024, the aftershocks of COVID-19 remain with us, especially in the world of work. What a “career” means to many in the workforce today is changing, and it's imperative that all leaders and organizations understand these shifts and prepare for more changes in the road ahead. Many of the talent strategies organizations deploy today were not built for the volume of changes and shifts we are experiencing today as staff turnover, particularly in the education industry continues to rise at unprecedented rates. In this engaging keynote, Steve Cadigan will review the many shifts taking place in the world of work and what it means to us as leaders, administrators and organizations.This session will inspire new ideas and new ways of thinking for both professionals and organizations and offer ideas and suggestions on how to optimize for success in an increasingly unpredictable future of work. You do not want to miss this session.


The Future of Work
Today, the way we work, where we work, and how we think about careers is undergoing a massive transformation. As the Gig economy continues to grow, as employee turnover continues to rise, and as employee disengagement continues to climb, there are massive consequences to the work economy. As we enter 2024, the aftershocks of COVID-19 remain with us, especially in the world of work. What a “career” means to many in the workforce today is changing, and it's imperative that all leaders and organizations understand these shifts. More and more workers are changing jobs faster than ever, and more and more professionals are making bigger career pivots than ever before.

While most of the media focus on how AI and robots will eliminate millions of jobs or how generational differences are at the core of these changes when discussing the future of work, the truth is that there are many new and different elements impacting the world of work today. Understanding these elements, such as the changing psychology of the workforce, is critical for any organization that hopes to implement a strategic talent plan for the future. In this engaging seminar, Steve Cadigan will review the significant changes taking place in the world of work and what they mean to us as professionals, leaders, and organizations. He will inspire new ideas and new ways of thinking for professionals and organizations and offer ideas and suggestions on optimizing for future success.


How to Make Culture Your Competitive Advantage & Elevate Your Business
In a world where turnover is increasing, and employee engagement is low, culture today means far more than just the norms of how we get along. The great companies of today have made their culture a powerful weapon in the war for top talent. Today your culture is both your employer brand and your company brand, and thus its imperative you invest and nurture your culture if you want to win today. In this engaging talk Steve reviews how you can leverage your culture to attract great talent AND to thrive in this complex new reality. Steve can speak from experience as he helped architect LinkedIn’s dynamic culture which became and critical component of their success during massive growth. During Steve’s talk he will review how LinkedIn built and leveraged their culture to massive competitive advantage in the war for talent against Google, Apple, Facebook and Twitter among others.

The Future of Leadership in a Digital Economy
The way we work today is very different than just a few years ago. What employees expect in a job and a company continues to change rapidly. How you hire, engage and lead talent in your companies has evolved a great deal. Today great leaders communicate and course correct more than they weigh information and make decisions. Great leaders today are information brokers more than decision makers. In this talk Steve will share how many organizations are rethinking and reimagining the role of a leader. This talk frames out how leadership has and needs to change to be effective in this fast paced, data intensive digital reality where employees have more power, voice and choice than ever before.

The LinkedIn Growth Story 
How a small low profile company competed for talent and won against sexy giants like Google, Facebook and Apple
Through the telling of many real-life stories and experiences Steve reviews the wild LinkedIn growth ride (2009-2012) where the company grew from 400 to 4000 employees and grew from staff in 2 countries to staff in 17 in under 4 years. Steve will share many of the mistakes and the lessons LInkedIn learned during this growth spurt and how they ultimately beat some of the greatest companies in the world in the war to hire the best talent while also revolutionizing the recruiting industry. Winning the war for talent against sexier brands who can pay higher salaries than you can is a timeless lesson for all leaders today.

The Future of HR & Recruiting
The Future of work is here! In this session, Steve will teach you about the many changes taking place in business and the workplace that are propelling the creation of new and exciting Human Resource Strategies. During the session Steve will share 1) how the HR function is evolving; 2) the many new jobs in HR such as Branding and Analytics, and 3); the many new technological tools and resources that are allowing the HR function to reveal new talent insights and help companies win today.
