Wagner Denuzzo -
Head of Capabilities for Future of Work,

We know that good leaders drive successful business outcomes through others, but we struggle with the identification of attributes, behaviors, competencies, and capabilities that define great leaders. In this session, Wagner Denuzzo, LCSW, will share his point of view on what makes a great leader for the Future of Work, and how the democratization of leadership can become the catalyst for positive cultural norms that activate business transformation. His own experiences as a psychotherapist, executive coach, organizational consultant, transformational leader, and Future of Work designer have shaped his views on how to develop leaders that are ambidextrous and adaptable to dynamic changes in their context. During this presentation, you will learn to:
· Develop a Future of Work strategy that will shape leadership development for the next decade
· Understand complexity as data in the identification of leadership capabilities required for desired outcomes
· View leadership as the energy that fuels actions within an organizational system
· Develop a contextual mindset that allows for prioritization of focus areas as we build the future-ready workforce
· Create a leadership culture that’s fully inclusive of all people in the organization

The velocity of change has reached new heights in 2020. The way we work has reactively evolved to meet business continuity needs. Workforce planning, corporate culture’s integrity and seamless team collaboration are being challenged not only to withstand this test of endurance but thrive through it. To strategically navigate these challenges, organizations must augment their workforces with human-centered technology that facilitates a culture of knowledge sharing, provides insight into employee skills and capabilities and enables data-driven decision making.
Starmind will demonstrate how you can empower your employees to dramatically increase productivity by:
• Fostering and sustaining a culture of knowledge-sharing facilitated by human-centered technologies
• Augmenting employee intelligence by providing instant access to collective company intelligence
• Increasing agile decision making with instant access to data and analytics
• Building a centralized knowledge base for collective intelligence
