In this masterclass, we’ll explore how leaders can redefine productivity in a rapidly changing business environment, where technology, workforce expectations and management styles are evolving.
You'll also learn more about how UniSC's postgraduate business programs can equip professionals with the skills to lead in times of change and how you can currently save more than 40% across our suite of programs including the MBA.
Professor Mark Loon highlights the “productivity paradox”. Despite rapid advances in technology, from Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing to the Internet of Things and 5G, productivity growth is lagging. Why? Because the missing piece is people. True productivity requires leaders and managers who can develop skills, foster innovation and build cultures of trust and empowerment.
In this session, Professor Loon will:
- Challenge traditional views of productivity and explore why technology alone isn’t the answer
- Examine how leadership and culture can unlock the potential of new technologies
- Offer practical strategies for building adaptive, empowered teams that drive sustainable performance
- Provide tools for managers to rethink business models, processes, and metrics to achieve meaningful productivity
This event is for emerging leaders, managers, and professionals seeking to understand the future of productivity and how postgraduate study can strengthen their impact.
