About this event

  • 1 hour

In this interactive session, Rob Sheffield shares insights on how AI is being used to support the process of innovation.

And we look at the areas where human capabilities and capacities are likely to remain important for innovation.

Which raises the issue of directing our learning, and how the human and digital can complement each other, as well as ensuring that our skills keep us employable.

Speaker

Rob Sheffield, Innovation and Leadership developer and researcher

Rob has worked for over 30 years in the areas of leadership development and innovation skills building.

He’s a facilitator, consultant and trainer as well as a researcher and author. He set up Bluegreen Learning at an interesting time because the paradigm of leadership was shifting from focusing on individual heroism (and usually male), to a concept that’s much more shared, relational and socially constructed.

In the same period, the concept of ‘innovation’ has become mainstream in teams, organisations and ecosystems. There’s even an international standard for it.

Rob’s work looks at how groups of people create new value for themselves in their life and work spaces, at a moment in time, despite the familiar, everyday obstacles of busyness, boredom, tiredness, entropy and inertia.
