Learning immersives
Each immersive learning track is a series of virtual
learning sessions
to get deep, practical and actionable on a specific topic. Participants learn and problem solve, and leave with
tools, resources, research and additional content
that they can be applied in the real world.
IMPACT will consist of six immersive tracks. Participants may register and complete up to two immersives over the course of the event.

Equity evolving

Equity evolving: Making diversity, inclusion, and anti-oppression real at work
The monumental events of 2020 cast a spotlight on racial and social injustices and started a movement to reinvent organizational diversity, equity, and inclusion. A year later, what’s changed and what needs more sustained focus?
DEI practitioners are starting to include antiracism and anti-oppression in their work. Organizations are starting to share representation and sentiment data about their workforce. The voices and perspectives of workers from underrepresented identities are helping to contribute to improvements for workers, customers, and stakeholders. Yet the pandemic’s fallout has included women giving up their jobs, disproportionate infection rates among people of color, strongly divided political sentiment, and higher levels of unemployment and underemployment. As we look forward, what can do we do to ensure we maintain and accelerate momentum toward equity?
Re-architecting work

Re-architecting work
COVID-19 has served as a time machine to the future of work. At this peak moment of acceleration, what choices do companies want to make to thrive? Where do they want to go? Are they ready for 2022?
As we reconnect, recover, reboot, it’s time to rethink the importance of work in the future of work. Work isn’t just a series of steps or outputs. Nor is it just something people do. Work is the key to connection. Work is the key to creativity. Work is the key to innovation. If done right, work is the key to productivity and bottom-line results.
What can happen when we apply the principles of architecture to the work itself? Form and function. Art and science. Design and build. Great architectural design draws us in and enlarges our experience, often in ways we can’t entirely explain. Re-architecting work in the Future of Work will do the same.
Re-architecting work will distinguish and elevate our clients’ business. Their people. Their potential. Their productivity. Put Work at the center of transformation efforts and we will make work better for humans, and humans better at work.
Exponential HR

Exponential HR
The pace of change is exponential. Across the globe we see an increasing number of economic, social, political, and technological disruptions catalyzing change around the way we live and work. These forces are challenging business strategies, organizational behavior, and ways of working. In response, many organizations are transitioning to new business models, deploying innovative operating practices, digitizing work, and being more present in the communities in which they operate. These organizations are looking to HR to be at the forefront and meet these challenges. But to do so, HR will need to move faster, innovate, anticipate challenges, adapt quicker— all while focused on business outcomes. Traditional HR operating models and ways of working are often obsolete. It’s time to reimagine HR by rethinking the function’s roles, capabilities, structures, processes, and technology.
Activating culture

Activating culture
Sensing, shaping, and activating an organizational culture that stimulates teams, nurtures belonging, and increases adaptability across the enterprise is often essential for sustainable growth and performance in an increasingly competitive environment. Given the events of the past year and the potential for future similar challenges, leaders must be prepared to adapt and shape their workforce culture to thrive and perform through any circumstances. Our culture Immersive will highlight how to think and lead differently—how to build resilience, belonging, and performance into the fiber of your organization’s DNA to leverage culture for a strategic advantage.
