The Future (of Work) is Now: Adapting for Change

Communitech® and the Waterloo Region Future of Work & Learning Coalition invite you to an exclusive one-hour webcast on May 19 with author Heather McGowan and Axonify CEO Carol Leaman.

“A focus on culture enables the organization to nimbly pivot team operations to enable large scale remote working while expanding their capacity through rapid learning to pivot production lines and processes to meet the changing demands of the day.” - Heather McGowan

Over the last year, the Waterloo Region Future of Work & Learning Coalition has been exploring how workplace and workforce trends are changing the ways we work and learning. Then in the blink of an eye, COVID-19 hit and accelerated those trends. The future of work is now.

More than ever, leaders need to let go of the “the way we used to do it” mindset. It’s time to get comfortable with failure, embrace unknowns and allow ourselves to be vulnerable to create the psychological safety needed to lead our teams.

Heather McGowan is a Future of Work strategist and author of “The Adaptation Advantage”. In her book, McGowan works to help people leaders understand the impact of technology and social change, what that change means to individuals and their identities and how to lead in this new learning-centric future. We’re pleased to have Axonify CEO Carol Leaman join us to share how their culture and leadership is ready for the future. The Waterloo-based learning software pioneer is an example cited in “The Adaptation Advantage”.
