The Power of Neuroinclusion.
NeuroInclusion recognizes that there is diversity in our brain types - neurodiversity - which means that there are so many different ways that people think, experience senses, process, function, connect with others, and communicate.

NeuroInclusive practice invites curiosity around the differences we may experience with coworkers, colleagues, and bosses as we interact with them, rather than making assumptions about certain traits.

Speaker: Natalia Pokorska, Director - Poland,  Steelcase

AI - what can go wrong and how to avoid this?
Technological advances, surging investments and the competition for talent are all working toward one thing: In 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) will start to fundamentally change how business gets done. It will impact how companies grow revenue, conduct everyday operations, engage customers and employees, build new business models, and more.  However, together with opportunities, new challenges and threats need to be managed. Are there any risks related to AI? What new regulatory requirements are coming? How should AI governance framework look like?
