Why work isn't working

Work isn’t working — for humans or for business. Engagement is falling, burnout is rising, and the dominant model of work most of us follow? It was invented in the 1760s. In this provocative session, Georgina and Stefan unpack what’s broken about the current paradigm and why it’s failing today’s teams. They argue for a new mental model—one rooted in creativity, collaboration, and connection—that’s built for the complexity of modern work. Backed by data and plenty of memes, they’ll challenge us to design something better: for people, for culture, and for performance.
