Description

Join us for an exciting morning to discuss this fascinating topic and what it means for us in New Zealand. Hear from Kevin Wheeler (a well-known futurist, speaker, author, teacher and consultant in talent acquisition and development) and a panel of experts to discuss the pros and cons of leveraging AI in organisations, especially on the impact it has on the workforce and the HR function.

Kevin Wheeler is the Founder and Chairman of the Future of Talent Institute (www.futureoftalent.org). Kevin started FOTI in 2004 out of his belief that organizations need better insights into the various trends that impact talent and their ability to attract and retain the talent they need to remain competitive. After a 25-year career in corporate America serving as the Senior Vice President for Staffing and Workforce Development at the Charles Schwab Corporation, the Vice President of Human Resources for Alphatec Electronics Inc. in Thailand, and in a variety of human resources roles at National Semiconductor Corporation, Kevin has firsthand knowledge of the need for better strategies and approaches to finding, developing and retaining people.

He is the author of numerous articles on human resource development, talent management, career development, college & professional recruiting, and on establishing corporate universities. He has served as adjunct faculty at San Jose State University, the University of San Francisco and on the business faculty at San Francisco State University.

We look forward to seeing you at this event.
