LEARNING AT THE SPEED OF WORK: THE NEXT HUMAN ADVANTAGE IN THE AI ERA.
ANY GOOD?
AI is changing work faster than most organizations can redesign jobs, structures or skills. Yet many still
treat learning as something separate from work: a course, platform, workshop or annual development plan. In this closing keynote, Benjamin Laker argues that this model is no longer enough. Having
helped shape global conversations around the four-day workweek, meeting-free days and job crafting,
he now turns to the next major workplace shift: learning as a daily organizational capability. Benjamin
shows why the future of learning will be less about consuming content and more about redesigning
work so people can adapt, experiment, share knowledge and improve in real time. Participants will
leave with a practical and energizing view of how leaders can build organizations that learn faster than
the world around them changes.
Benjamin Laker, Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, Bestselling Author, Authority on
Leadership and the Future of Work.
