Our working world is transforming faster than companies can adapt with AI rewriting how skills, roles, and workflows are managed at lightning speed.
Yet, even amid this environment of accelerating disruption and imperfect data, business leaders are still expected to make confident decisions.
This is because we’ve entered an era of fundamental uncertainty. A socio-economic environment where uncertainty is so fundamentally ‘normal’ that instead of resisting or absorbing change in the hope of returning to a sense of stability, organisations now need a type of 'antifragility' - an operating system that can not only withstand disorder, but relish and grow within it.

Introducing Workplace Elasticity. A new, improved and future fit version of HR and business agility which integrates people strategy, business strategy, and AI to equip organizations with the capability to bend, stretch, and re-form at speed.
In this thought-provoking session, Natal Dank, author of Agile HR and Agile L&D, reveals her latest insights on workplace elasticity. Drawing from the vision of Industry 5.0, she explores how leaders can make conscious, proactive choices that bring humans and technology together to create sustainable, co-intelligent systems.
Through the dual lens of people strategy and business strategy, this talk unpacks the practical ingredients of workplace elasticity — from product-led HR models to T-shape skills mapping and cultural playbooks that foster resilience, creativity, and connection.
This is not just about surviving the future of work — it’s about shaping it.
