Business in Focus: Future Ready - Leading people through change in a rapidly evolving world

In a world reshaped by AI, automation, hybrid work and shifting workforce expectations, staying ahead means more than just keeping up. It requires building a culture and leadership style that can adapt, stay connected and thrive through constant change.

Join us on Tuesday, September 2 at McDonald Jones Stadium for a Business in Focus session with Trudy MacDonald, Managing Director and Founder of Talent Code HR. Trudy will share practical insights on how individuals and organisations can prepare for the future of work—focusing on trust, engagement, accountability and leading teams through disruption.

This event is designed for everyone involved in the workplace, business owners, leaders, managers and employees, offering strategies to navigate change with confidence and create workplaces that embrace innovation while staying grounded in people.

Building on conversations we’ve had in recent months about technology, digital transformation and cyber security, this session shifts the focus to the human side of change. It’s the next step in understanding how to harness the power of people alongside new tools and systems to drive success.

Discussion points include:

• What it means to be future ready in today’s fast-changing world

• Why people and culture are key during times of disruption

• How leadership is evolving with AI and automation

• Practical ways to maintain focus, empathy and momentum

• Building high-trust, connected teams that embrace change
