Today, innovation and collaboration are essential for business. But with only 13% of the world’s workforce actively engaged in their work, driving innovation and collaboration forward requires that the world of work changes. In this talk, Jeremy explores how business leaders, HR advisors and others can engage the talents of their people to set up for the future of business and enable collaboration and innovation for sustainable growth at scale.
