Knowledge and Human Potential Group

£20.00The future is still human?
Why we need to Connect to Prosper.
A debate – 18.00 for 18.30 start on June 4th at The Worshipful Company of Information Technologists’ Hall, 39a, Bartholomew Close. EC1A 7JN
The motion is: “This house believes that human interaction is the path to increased productivity.”
As the UK heads for a General Election, there is no shortage of views on what any new government’s priorities need to be. And we can be sure that growth and productivity will be at the heart of the economic policy agenda, irrespective of who is in power. With debates raging about the role that Artificial Intelligence (and related innovations) will play in the future world of work and business, now is a good time to examine just how far human potential can be realised. And why it matters to have the human touch.
A launch group of 5 Livery Companies are working together to develop human potential, through shared skills and knowledge and common approaches to life-long learning, diversity and inclusion, creativity, and leadership, leading to a vibrant and connected City community. This Group offers expert and collective support to many aspects of the City of London Corporation’s agenda such as The Lord Mayor’s ‘Connect to Prosper’ theme, addressing diverse global challenges with the specific lens of human potential and creativity.
The emerging group of companies who are concerned with Knowledge and Human Potential are arranging a series of debates. The first one is being scheduled for 18:00 on June 4th at the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists’ WCIT Hall. Find the Hall at 39a Bartholomew Close, London, EC1A 7JN
There will be two people speaking for the proposal and two against. We have invited postgrad students from the City University to speak to each side of the debate, and also two Liverymen.
And just to prove human interaction is alive and well, there will drinks and light refreshments for the connectivity session after the debate, where no doubt the conversations and connections will continue. Cost £20 per person – open event to Livery members and guests. Please book below
