In a world of digital transformation, nothing drives success like having the right business knowledge, tools, and partners.

That's what the Sage Summit is all about.

Listen in as Vincent Hofmann, Co-Director of Inquisition, facilitates a discussion on the Future of Work with Global Sage CEO, Stephen Kelly, Sage participants Kimberley Axon & Kavir Kissun, as well as thought leader experts such as Sonja Blignaut & Alison Jacobson.

Tune in as they discuss topics such as the Future of Work, the Future of Skills, Innovation & Diversity & Inclusion with a refreshing frankness that's long overdue.

Globalisation and the demand for organisations to be more innovative and cater to a broader audience than ever before, means that in the Future of Work, diversity is not just a tick-box exercise but an essential part of your success.

Diversity means a lot of things: From Baby Boomers to Millennials and Gen Z, gender and sexual identity, race and culture, as well as disability. Inclusion means to incorporate all of these diversifying factors into a cohesive whole.

Diversity and inclusion isn’t a mere quota or KPI to fulfil on. If your organisation doesn’t reflect on what its broader environment looks like, you’re solving problems for yourself, by yourself. By making diversity and inclusion a priority within your business, you’ll be able to create authentic solutions, based on awareness of the world you live and work in.

This week, Vincent Hofmann, Co-Director of Inquisition, speaks to Kimberley Axon, Head of People for Sage Africa and Middle East, Gerrard Foster, Director of Project Fable and Leola Britton, Talent and Leadership Development Manager at Sappi about Diversity and Inclusion in the workplace, as part of the Future of Work.

In times of uncertainty and shifting conditions, it’s more important than ever to create a culture of innovation. As such, innovation is something everyone should be involved in, whether a leader or employee.

Join Vincent Hofmann, Co-director of Inquisition, in discussion with Kriti Sharma, Vice President of AI and Bots at Sage, UK and Jennifer Sutherland, Innovation Capability Build at Standard Bank, as well as Carl Spies, a High Performance Coach, as they discuss what the future holds for innovation, within work.
