AFD 2023 AGENDA

June 7th

Immersive technologies, such a virtual reality and augmented reality, have found their way into higher education and are increasingly being used by companies as part of talent development programmes. Immersive technology creates a distinct experience by merging the physical and digital or simulated reality worlds. This session will explore the potential of immersive technologies in education and accelerate talent development.

Boards often mistakenly confuse luck with resilience. Luck, such as oil price recovery, can allow a company to bounce back, until a new price collapse comes along, for instance. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from an external shock – such as a financial crisis, a pandemic, a major cyber-attack, or global climate change disruption – because of the company’s ability to manage virtually anything through the way it operates. During this panel we will discuss the types and nature of disruptive risks and how to respond to them to build a resilient organisation.
