Keynote: The Human Factor: Elevate These 5 Core Skills to Thrive in an AI World

Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally reshaping the world of financial advisers! While AI might make it easier to become competent, how do you become exceptional?

Nick will discuss five timeless human skills which, when enhanced by technology, become remarkable differentiators for you in an increasingly complex landscape. As technology marches forward, our unique human qualities become even more valuable.

  • Service: While AI boosts efficiency, it paradoxically emphasizes the unique value of human service. How can we enrich customer/stakeholder experiences in an environment obsessed with speed?
  • Communication: These days it seems everyone has a megaphone, but very few people are truly heard. In the endless stream of data and code, your words matter. How can you communicate with impact in this new context?
  • Relationships: Business is about people and you cannot automate authenticity. How can you build genuine relationships in an impersonal, digital age?
  • Leadership: Will AI do to managers what video did to the radio star? What will be the roles of leaders and managers in an AI-driven world?
  • Adaptability: Change is inevitable, but why do some adapt while others falter? Stop planning for a future you can't predict. Often agility beats strategy so you must cultivate the skills to be ready to adapt and innovate at pace?

Keynote: 10 lessons from running a purpose-led business

Simon will share the Who Gives A Crap story of taking the company from an idea to more than $10 million donated, including its viral crowdfunding campaign and 2–3x year on year growth for almost 10 years. From there he will share 10 key lessons, including ‘doing good is doing business’ – the idea that it’s possible to build a bigger and better business by donating profits rather than holding onto them – and the power of being in the business of delight.
