If you had the choice between an 8% or a 30% increase in company revenue. What would you choose?
As new technologies and GenAI are quickly changing our workplaces. Hence, Change Readiness is THE HR priority for 2025.
Yet, HR leaders are expected to drive these changes while juggling outdated data, processes, and ways of working. So, how can you build an environment where change feels natural rather than just another failed initiative?
This masterclass is not about yet another framework or theoretical discussion. It’s about getting smarter at what we humans do best. We unlock the power of Collective Intelligence. Build an adaptive, human-centric, and high-performing culture. One that thrives in ongoing change, boosts your company’s performance to new heights, and leverages the power of GenAI. This helps to make better and faster decision-making, without losing the human touch.
New technologies will bring us further towards the future. People will make it happen.
Join this masterclass to experience how to create a culture where change becomes a team effort and energising journey.
The ROI of a human-centric organisation is clear. Now, it’s time for you to step up to the plate.
Will you lead your company to new heights during change, or keep reacting to it?
I look forward to seeing you in Lisbon.

Day One, 20th May | 1:30 PM
We need to help all of our people develop a future-focused mindset, so that they can deal with all of the change, uncertainty and complexity of the world. We know that no-one can predict the future with accuracy and remove all uncertainty, but we can improve our skills in forecasting, foresight and becoming more adaptable. We can learn to ’think like a futurist’. This session will develop your strategic imagination and future-focused mindset, with a toolkit of skills and techniques that will enable you to anticipate change and identify disruption.
These transferable skills can be taken back to your office, and applied immediately, so that you and your team can reduce change fatigue, be more confident about the future, and handle disruption with ease. You’ll be equipped to imagine what might come next, allowing you to build better strategies, plan more effectively, and face the future confidently.

Day One, 20th May | 13:30 PM
How are you uniquely better from your competition? What makes you stand out in your service or products? In this session, we’ll explore four specific strategic areas that you can establish your competitive advantage in your team, department, and company. We’ll look at how you can improve and utilize your processes and systems to enhance effectiveness, efficiency, and overall enjoyability in your workplace. Processes and systems are everywhere in our organization, from the hiring process to the customer service process, to the IT troubleshooting process, we’ll look at the systems and processes in place and identify specific areas you can improve to establish competitive advantage.
Next, we’ll look at methods and resources within your team. The success of the performance and operations in your team and organization relies heavily on the methods used. This is an in-depth look at the methods and resources utilized within the broader context of systems and processes. Sometimes, a process is perfectly fine but the resources to execute the process are problematic. From digital resources, methods of communication, to physical tools – this looks at how you can utilize your methods and resources to enhance competitive advantage. Afterwards, we’ll take a look at the projects and initiatives in your company. How are you setting yourself apart from your competition in your events, projects, initiatives –anything with a beginning and an end? In terms of something like recruitment – this might be recruitment events, marketing campaigns for candidates, or upskilling projects in schools. What are you doing to set yourself apart?
Lastly, we’ll look at roles. This is the role that people play in the team, the role the team plays in the organization, and the role the organization plays in the industry/community. Of course, competitive advantages can be found in the talents, skills, passions, personalities, and values of the people in your team. Here, we’ll look at ways you can identify and foster the unique value of the roles in your team. The entire session aims to give you a strategic action plan to establish competitive advantage in your team. Throughout this session, I’ll be asking audience members for specific focus areas (talent development, recruitment, diversity and inclusion, customer service, etc) where they would like to establish a competitive advantage in their organization. This will be made into a specific session catered to learner focus areas and opportunities.
Learning Objectives:
Prithwiraj Choudhury, Lumry Family Associate Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School
Day Two, 21st May | 10:45 AM
In recent years, companies in a wide range of industries have adopted radically flexible work policies that allow employees and teams to work from anywhere (WFA), untethered to a physical office. The leaders at these companies understand that geographic flexibility is a competitive advantage: a way to attract and retain high-quality and diverse talent at a global scale. If other companies want to find and keep the very best talent, they must embrace WFA.
In this masterclass, Harvard Business School professor Prithwiraj Choudhury shares insights from his new book entitled ‘The World is Your Office’ and takes participants inside the companies at the forefront of this growing phenomenon—from startups to bigger, more traditional organizations—while offering leaders a playbook for implementing a variety of WFA policies they can tailor to their own needs.
