A wave of dig­i­tal tech­nolo­gies is trans­form­ing indus­tries, the shop floor and our offices and homes.  What role does HR play in this dis­rup­tion?  Will your orga­ni­za­tion be ready to be part of orches­trat­ing solu­tions to new work­place challenges? 

Pic­ture the work­place of the not-so-dis­tant future — increas­ing­ly teth­ered to wire­less con­nec­tions and reliant on shared data to real­ize out­comes. But — wait — we’re already there.  Phys­i­cal dis­tances that sep­a­rat­ed us two decades ago are vir­tu­al­ly gone.  We can now work eas­i­ly with any coun­try and any cul­ture.  Edu­ca­tion that cre­ates deep pock­ets of finan­cial loans for stu­dents is being replaced with MOOCs (Mas­sive­ly Open Online Cours­es) and oth­er types of vir­tu­al online learn­ing.  So are you still recruit­ing by col­lege degree?  At a restau­rant, a dig­i­tal tablet ren­ders the menu, takes your order and your pay­ment.  In Japan, a robot checks you into a hotel.  Can you imag­ine what dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion might mean to your work­place and to your workers? 

Join Mike Ettling as he talks to us about how SAP is help­ing com­pa­nies avoid dis­rup­tion and enable the dig­i­tal work­place.  What are the right tools, tech­nol­o­gy and mind­sets we need to have to suc­cess­ful­ly trans­form from mere human resources man­age­ment to dig­i­tal work­force management?
