Executive summary
Join Catalyst and Coqual as we discuss how AI is transforming leadership and unlocking new levels of productivity. In The NEW Convergent Leader: A human x AI leadership model for sustaining growth through disruption, we’ll explore emerging trends, practical strategies, and what leaders need to know.
As global organizations navigate accelerating innovation, AI adoption, and evolving regulatory expectations, technology alone will not deliver sustainable productivity gains. The real differentiator lies in leadership. This webinar marks the launch of The Future of Leadership: Unlocking the Productivity Dividend, new research from Catalyst in partnership with Coqual that reframes inclusion as a critical driver of performance, relevance, and growth.
Designed for senior HR, inclusion, and business leaders, this session will explore what future-ready leadership looks like in a global context—spotlighting Europe as a bellwether for how organizations can align human capability with technological advancement to unlock lasting value.
Hear from leading experts and gain insights into:
- Why productivity gains are stalling and what leadership has to do with it, including how inclusive leadership practices enable teams to translate innovation and AI investment into real performance outcomes
- The future-focused leadership skills and behaviors organizations can’t afford to overlook, with insights tailored to the European context but applicable across global enterprises
- How inclusion shifts from a values-based conversation to a business imperative, driving relevance, engagement, and organizational resilience amid disruption
- A practical, research-informed playbook for leaders, outlining how HR, talent, and business leaders can identify and close the human-capability gaps limiting growth and productivity
