Interesting interview with Gillian Bergin who will be speaking at Beyond IoT 2020 will take place on the 20th and 21st of January in the Cork Institute of Technology. See our preview of the event here.
Short pitch for what you are doing now?
Vice-Chair of it@cork and a Director in the Business Transformation Office at Dell Technologies
How was the last year, what worked well, what didn’t move as quickly as you would have liked?
2019 was very productive. Concentrating a lot on workforce transformation, the power of effective communications and employee engagement. Looking forward to another exciting year in 2020
What are your plans for the future?
Complete current studies in Digital Transformation and Innovation and continue to drive transformative thinking in the workplace.
What will you be talking about at this event?
AI, Robotics and Automation: The future of work will be in being human. Today our work gives us purpose, routine and definition. As intelligent systems disrupt more and more of what we define as work, how will we add economic value? What will be the role of work in our lives? Are we ready to pursue unstructured qualitative lives? The future of work has much for us to look forward to, but we also have much to prepare for.
This session looks at how/why emerging technologies are driving the change in “work” as we know it, what the new work environment might look like and how we must prepare ourselves, our teams, our businesses and our children to survive and thrive in this new environment.
What inspired you to attend it?
The success of last years event and the opportunity to network with industry and academic colleagues. There will also be a competition for a Startup to win a trip to China. (link HERE) Startups can avail of the 2Day ticket for €50 using the code BIOT2020.
Which influencers and websites do you follow to keep up to date with the latest developments?
Gartner, Forrester Research, IDC, Forbes Tech, IrishTechNews, The Verge, Wired and following relevant hashtags on Twitter
How can people find out more about what you are working on?
There is lots of great content on the internet but I recommend the videos and publications by Cognizant’s Center for The Future of Work as a great place to start and a book called The Future of Work by Darrell M. West
