SUMMARY:Deloitte at CES®­­­ 2021
DESCRIPTION:Deloitte at CES®­­­ 2021\nJanuary 11-14\, 2021 | All-Digital\n\n\n\n\n\nStronger. Safer. Smarter. Together. Thriving in the new future. \nJanuary 12\, 2021 12:15 – 12:45 PM EST\nThe future of work in 2021: Work transformed \nBefore the pandemic\, the future of work was considered an academic question. Fast forward to today\, and it’s the pre-eminent issue across the c-suite. But what’s next after remote work? It’s time for organizations to re-think current approaches to embrace work transformed. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 11:30 AM-12:00 PM EST\n5G’s first year: From insight to innovation \nCarriers have begun lighting up 5G and new spectrum has been made available. In this session\, we’ll explore 5G’s first year and reflect on lessons learned for enterprises. Presenters will also explore what’s next and discuss topics such as use cases\, value creation\, and key insights to fuel 5G innovation for organizations. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 1:40 – 2:20 PM EST\nThe road to DIY consumer health \nIf we have learned anything in 2020\, it’s that consumers play a pivotal role in their own health outcomes. Patients are now expecting accessible\, convenient solutions — from wearables to apps — that allow them to jumpstart their care at any moment. Many companies stepped up to deliver new product offerings this year. In this session\, learn from industry leaders\, including Lynne Sterrett\, National Consulting leader for the Life Sciences\, delivering much needed solutions for the consumer that just wants to do-it-themselves. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 3:15-3:55 PM EST\nAutomotive transformation: EVs and connectivity \nElectrification and connectivity continue to disrupt the automotive value chain. However\, transforming the ecosystem to shift toward these technologies will be difficult and expensive. From rising research and development (R&D) investments to new software requirements and enhanced customer experiences\, scenario planning and strategic alliances are increasingly important. In this session\, we’ll analyze how industry stakeholders are overcoming challenges facing a rapidly evolving sector. \nJanuary 13\, 2021 5:00 – 5:30 PM EST\nAI and quantum cyber disruption \nHorizon scanning is a critical part of a cyber professional’s job. Artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies are poised to be the next technology disruptions\, with profound impacts to cybersecurity. We will provide a pragmatic view of these potential impacts and steps you can take today to prepare for tomorrow.

SUMMARY:Tyler Waye: How to Navigate the Unknown Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:Tyler Waye addresses the topic\, 10\,000 Days: How to Navigate the Unknown Future of Work as a featured guest of the Lougheed College Lectures.\nWork-place disruption now travels at warp speed\, leaving Alberta’s workers stunned by its scale and intensity. It used to take decades for work – its content\, processes\, organization – to transform. These transformations would often occur in eras or locales that were readily identified\, such as the “lost decade” or “the rust belt.” Such identification meant that help could be organized and deployed. Today\, transformation is much more rapid\, and its direction and consequences are much less predictable. It’s happening to all of us. Now. With the average career stretching across 10\,000 days\, how are we to navigate this unknown future of work? Tyler Waye undertook an intensive year of research across 12 countries\, asking: \n\nHow can individuals and institutions build a sustainable foundation for success given unprecedented change?\nHow do we individually navigate our life’s work without knowing what tomorrow will hold?\nAnd what might the government’s role look like within this growing challenge?\n\nWaye’s investigation yielded four critical factors that will shape modern work’s challenges and changes. Join us for this timely\, provocative and motivating exploration of his findings. \nBe informed\, challenged\, and inspired by local\, national\, and international leaders from government\, business\, academica\, and the cultural and nonprofit sectors. The Lougheed College Lectures sponsored by Syncrude present exceptional speakers from interdisciplinary backgrounds. They will share their perspectives and insights on the leadership needed to face the complex challenges of the 21st century. \nThu\, January 21\, 2021  7:00 PM – 8:30 PM MST
