Event information

Artificial intelligence is transforming work at an unprecedented pace, changing how decisions are made, how creativity is expressed and how organisations operate. While technology continues to advance rapidly, many leaders face a different challenge: developing the cognitive skills needed to navigate increasing complexity, uncertainty and change.

This BritCham webinar explores the concept of fluid thinking – the ability to adapt, learn and solve unfamiliar problems when past experience is no longer enough. Drawing on current thinking around leadership, cognitive agility and the future of work, the session examines why human capabilities remain critical in an AI-driven environment and how professionals can strengthen the skills needed to lead effectively.

Referencing findings from the World Economic Forum on the importance of Brain Skills, the session will provide practical insights and real-world examples to help participants develop stronger thinking, adaptability and decision-making capabilities in a rapidly evolving business landscape.
