AI ethics, regulation and business growth

The technology sector is increasingly focused on artificial intelligence (AI) and the ethics of its use. AI has become one of the most transformative developments, impacting the future of business, living, and how things are done. Machines are now learning on their own, without regular human input, leading to accelerated efficiency, effectiveness, and cost reduction, thanks to AI. However, governments are concerned about AI; while it offers tremendous benefits if used correctly, it also poses significant risks if misused.

Unleashing the power of experience: Why hiring talent over 50 wins

As the demographics of the workforce shift, the proportion of older workers available and willing to work has increased. Traditional hiring practices often favor younger talent, driven by misconceptions about the capabilities and expectations of older workers. This overlooks a crucial asset seasoned professionals bring to the table.

Strengthening your board for success in a volatile world

The dynamics of corporate boardrooms are increasingly recognized as pivotal to the success or failure of organizations worldwide. As such, the composition of these boards and the challenges they face have never been more critical. This perspective emphasizes the importance of adopting strategic recruitment practices for board members, comparable to the rigorous standards applied in executive recruitment, to ensure a vibrant, effective and forward-thinking governance team.
