Future Readiness And The AI Mindset Divide

Howard YuIMD Business SchoolLEGO® Professor of Management and Innovation
Description
Geography isn't destiny. Coca-Cola, headquartered in Atlanta, built AI sandboxes across its local teams and put Shenzhen energy inside an American company. It can be done. Just not fast enough in most organisations. For HR leaders across sectors, this session works through: • What mindset is now helping leading organisations pull ahead in the AI economy • Why knowledge is the commodity now, and judgement, context and decision quality are what companies actually pay for • The shift from skills frameworks to skills liquidity • Experimentation speed as the new currency of organisational performance • How leaders frame AI as an opportunity or a threat, and how that framing shapes adoption everywhere downstream • What it actually takes to get psychological safety deep enough for workforce-level experimentation at scale • The hidden cost of delayed decisions in a moment that rewards movement
