Senior HR leaders gathered for breakfast in New York, and the conversation was refreshingly honest covering: AI adoption and the pending wave of voluntary departures.

The discussion focused on the insights from a recent survey on hybrid working and the apparent contradictions in how employees experience the workplace.

We convened 15 IT leaders from diverse industry sectors to exchange perspectives on the current state of the function, the challenges shaping their agendas, and the strategic priorities defining the year ahead.

We had the pleasure of hosting our first Brew & Business breakfast at the Hyatt Hotel in Düsseldorf’s Media Harbour. The concept behind this event is to foster meaningful connections among a select group of local business leaders in an informal breakfast setting.
