AI, machine learning, and robots will increasingly take away jobs—both white and blue collar—and automate some of the robotic/repeatable processes in sustainable jobs. The impact is quietly accelerating while new types of jobs and careers will spawn, some of which no one today is fully clear of. Only the strong will survive and the strongest will thrive. How can you take your own productivity and growth as a senior executive, manager, or staff for your company and in your own career, to next levels? What types of skill sets must be honed? How can you sharpen your own pragmatic and “scaleable" emotional, social, and leadership intelligence (3EQ)?

In a constant war for talent, HR teams are struggling to find the right edge to get ahead of the competition.

In SoFi's workshop, you will learn how to optimize your workflow, budgets and how to eventually increase your organization's ROI by reducing Time-to-Hire, Cost-per-Hire, Cost-per-not-Hire and more, enabling HR teams to leverage their value outside of their design department, and help the decision makers in the company to be better informed and optimize their work, to increase bottom line revenues.
