The world is changing at an unprecedented rate. Influences like big data, artificial intelligence, multi-generational workforces and changing business models will have an impact on the way we work and how businesses operate. As business professionals, how do we ensure we’re adapting to the pace of change without compromising integrity, objectivity, and professional behaviour? This symposium will explore the following questions:
- How is professionalism being affected by changing business models?
- How will the drivers of change – economic, environmental, technological, societal, and geopolitical – affect the future of professionalism?
- How do you enculturate of the values of a profession in students and members in the digitally influenced world?
