Sociotechnical Resilience

Monday 18 November · 6 sessions, 50 minutes each

About the track

As GenAI comes into everyday use and Quantum Computing demands new ways of software programming, organizations have to "adopt and adapt" accordingly. This inherent tension in the human-technology system causes stressors with shifting priorities, changing requirements and constant demand for new skills, leading to a decline in wellbeing and burnout. This track explores how artificial intelligence is reshaping traditional leadership models, and the skills required for ICs as well as engineering leaders to effectively shape their skills and guide teams in the age of AI. It will dive into the tactical actions that teams and engineering leaders have taken to build a robust system that is adaptable and resilient.
