MMR 2023:
Nurturing Human Capital for a Future-Ready Organization in a Digitized World
As numerous companies have embraced automation and other technological advancements, it has become clear that technology alone is insufficient for success in a rapidly evolving landscape. Workers require new skills and abilities at a swift pace, and businesses face a critical decision: invest heavily in acquiring the skills needed for the future or risk struggling with an under-skilled workforce. A third option, which can enable organisations to flourish, is to develop a future-ready workforce.
But what does it mean to build a future-ready workforce? It involves preparing employees to handle not only the challenges of tomorrow but also to seize opportunities and overcome unforeseen obstacles with the right skills and capabilities.
The 17th edition of Manning Modern Retail will shed light on the intricate dynamics of managing work, workforce, and workplace, all essential components in constructing a future-ready organisation.

Human-centered leadership: Putting people first for better business outcome
Human-centered leadership, which emphasizes empathy and respect, has been shown to improve business outcomes through increased employee engagement and productivity. This leadership style requires emotional intelligence and specific skills, cultivated through targeted training and a culture of transparency and inclusivity. Despite potential challenges, such as resistance to change and the impact of technology, human-centered leadership is expected to continue evolving, shaped by trends like an increased focus on mental health. Human Resources departments play a crucial role in this process, supporting and developing leaders who prioritize people. Ultimately, this people-first approach enhances business performance by fostering a more engaged and committed workforce.
Natural Intelligence: Can AI really think for itself?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) mimics human intelligence through pre-programmed algorithms but lacks self-awareness and consciousness, essential elements of natural intelligence. Its abilities, while impressive, are often misunderstood and cannot replace human judgment, especially in nuanced fields like retail. Future advancements towards artificial general intelligence remain a distant goal, with ethical considerations like job displacement and privacy concerns. Ultimately, AI is a human-guided tool, not an autonomous entity.
