Dr. Shirley Davis Vivek Paranjpe

A noted entrepreneur and expert on the 'Future of Work',

Ben Casnocha has inspired conversations on

entrepreneurship, careers and the future of work.

Ben presented ‘The New People Pact’ for future

ready corporations and suggested a symbiotic

relationship between the employer and the employees, whereby both

of them mutually bene�t from each other’s capabilities and resources.

He also discussed strategies and made recommendations to achieve this.

In addition, he also made a strong case for encouraging network

development, including setting up of corporate alumni associations.

Je� Pon, Chief Human Resources and Strategy O�cer, brings with him

years of experience in developing HR standards across organizations.

In his session he shared his perspective on ‘Emerging Workplace Trends’.

He felt in addition to knowledge expertise, future ready HR professionals

should have various behavioral competencies including relationship

management, ethical practice, consultation skills and global outlook to name a few. He

remarked: “Going forward HR will need both a physical and a virtual people strategy.”

David Lewis, CEO of Pinnacle Performance, delivered an energetic

master class on ‘Intention- based Communication‘ – a session that spoke

of in�uencing all kinds of an audience with powerful communication

skills, a glimpse of which was demonstrated through exercises he

conducted. The panel discussion on HR Analytics e�ectively explored

current trends and prospects in predictive analytics, enabling role of HR technology and also

showcased the strengths of SAP HR software in decision making scenarios.

“By focusing on aspects like workplace trends, assessment, skill enhancement etc.,

we strive to present new dimensions of discussion to reach conclusive ideas that will

simplify HR best practices in the emerging industry. The HR practitioners of the

future would be business partners, talent developers and people who would be in

the hot seat themselves.”

new age workforce.
