Make Work Better Summit 2022

About this event

From 2020 until the present, market conditions in Asia have remained volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Businesses have responded by shifting digital transformation (DX) priorities to be more resilient against future disruptions.

In this new normal where change is the only certainty, IDC says organisations need to be even more agile, and able to navigate through market disruptions by harnessing their people, financial, and technological resources to pre-empt and respond to change.

In another study, the Cushman & Wakefield report, Asia Pacific Office of the Future Revisited, concluded that as businesses in Asia adapt workplace strategies that support flexible working, the focus should be on the people, not the place. The report says the new workplace is a destination to build community, one that inspires workers to be more engaged.

How to bring these two seemingly disjoined realities together into a strategy that aims to make work better is the challenge for business, finance and technology leaders in 2023.

At the Make Work Better Summit 2022 we will outline the priorities that digital workplace leaders, IT executives and operations leaders must adopt, including:

Boost measurable productivity for individual employees as well across your organization.
Increase efficiency and drive tangible cost savings.
Harness any data, across structured, unstructured, for new insights and competitiveness,
Improve consistency and quality of customer experiences.

Gartner says technology will play an important role as workforce issues, not customers, emerged as a post pandemic focus.

Laiye believes that leaders can achieve all these aspirations – solving workforce issues, securing a borderless operation, streamlining workflows, and forging growth and resilience.

This 3rd November, we will assemble speakers that include provocative futurists and some of the most forward-thinking leaders in the industry to address the future enterprise. The Future of Work is Here – plan now to join us at this one-of-a-kind event.

This session will provide an insider’s view of what awaits us all in 2023 and give us a glimpse of the future of work – and how to stay ahead of the game, win the competition for talent, understand trends in jobs and skills, and how to transform the operating model. Ronen Lamdan, CEO, LAIYE INTERNATIONAL
09:45	Panel Discussion 1: Keeping Employees Happy, Healthy and Engaged A recurring observation during the pandemic and periods of hybrid work is employee burnout – the consequence of extended hours of working, and when employees are unable to draw a line between personal and professional. In this panel discussion, senior executives discuss practices in detecting and addressing employee burnout. They will share tips and tricks on how to keep your teams engaged and happy throughout the year, including success stories on improving employee experience overall. Is employee’s burnout real? Does the enterprise’s digital transformation strategy actually contribute to employees’ burnout? Tackling employees’ burn out: What has worked and not worked so far?

11:15	Keynote 2: How to Get Out of the Digital Transformation Slump A Boston Consulting Group study says 70% of digital transformations fail short of their objectives. A Deloitte and IAM Nederland study blames this on too much focus on technological change instead of supporting processes and behaviour. The presentation will unveil strategies, tactics and secrets to helping your organisation architect a roadmap to successfully transform your business through the smart integration of people, process, technology and best practices. Braham Shnider, Chief Strategy and Ecosystem Officer, LAIYE
11:45	Panel Discussion 2: Transforming into the Future Enterprise – The Right Way IDC says we fail in our digital ambitions because we rely on outdated key performance indicators, follow the traditions of siloed mentality, focus on short-term tactical plans, rely on the limited digital skills and expertise and pursue silos of innovation. In this panel discussion, we dismantle these traditions by revealing what works and what doesn’t, including how to fast track.
