Attending the Chief of Staff Connect conference was a highly valuable way to connect with others in the role. It was a practical, engaging way to learn from and connect with the best. I not only left with a treasure trove of best practices but also gained a network of like-minded peers.
EMILIE GRAHL
Overall great conference. I most appreciated the time to network and learn from fellow CoS's, particularly the day 1 problem solving session.

Beyond the Plan: The Human Side of AI Transformation
We've all seen great organizational transformation programs fail because we have forgotten that organizations are made up of humans.
Messy, complex, fearful, hopeful humans who deserve more than Gantt Charts and PowerPoints to help them reimagine their current ways of working (and follow through on that change!). Unlocking the organizational potential promised by AI depends on our ability to help individuals see, understand, and ultimately navigate their internal barriers to change.
