Events related to Industry 4.0 and 5.0 technologies

Organisations experienced a 435% increase in ransomware in 2022, and the World Economic Forum’s cybersecurity report states that 95% of cyber incidents can be traced back to human errors. So how can organisations prepare themselves for cyberattacks, and what does a people-centred approach to cyber-resilience look like?

As we enter a new era of innovation and disruption, it’s more important than ever to be agile, collaborative, and game-changing. That’s why the IOT Solutions World Congress brings together the industry’s top minds and emerging technologies to help you build a roadmap to navigate the opportunities and risks ahead.

This webinar will consider what it means to put the human at the heart of Industry 5.0 and why it has been so hard to move innovation beyond the 19th century paradigm of techno-centrism. Realising the strategic advantages of Industry 5.0 requires organizations to understand what makes work human, and what is distinctively human about work: skill and skilful practice. As well as making work meaningful, skilful practice can be a powerful source of innovation but too often managers misrecognise skill, undervaluing employees. Realising the benefits of Industry 5.0 will require an ‘upskilling’ of management to move beyond an efficiency paradigm to recognise, reward and develop the skills that matter strategically today.

The CIC 2024 conference will focus on empirical and multidisciplinary studies presenting a fresh perspective and new insights on the creative industries and the challenges of the emerging digital technologies, such as generative AI.

The program format offers fresh opportunities for thought leaders from all aspects of employment and industrial relations to create connections. LERA’s mission bridges research, practice and policy, as well as stakeholders.

Organizations can be redesigned to enable and empower people in their “onlife” world. However, it is the time to interpret people not only as actors who change the world through technology but also as subjects who are transformed by technology itself and enhanced by their willingness to experiment with new forms of structuring. Organization studies should focus beyond single organizations, revealing basic principles of the complex adaptive systems embedded at their crossroads. These may be explored by integrating approaches from different disciplines and mixing methods from network dynamics and sociology, as well as geography and urban studies.

BUIRA Annual Conference 2024: Industrial Relations in the Era of Multiple Crises: Inequalities, Industrial Action, & Intersectionalities after COVID-19. From the shift to remote and hybrid work to the resurgence of unconditional welfare transfers and industrial action, the world of work experienced some of the most dramatic changes in decades as a result of the economic and public health measures implemented over the last three years.
