Overview

AI adoption is surging, yet most executives still can't point to a measurable productivity gain. Both things are true, and the gap between them isn't talent. It's training, environment and trust.

Drawing on a decade interviewing the people who run the global economy, and her current work with senior leaders across global finance, central banking and the Fortune 500, Angie Lau explains why the same AI deployment produces two very different teams: one that accelerates, and one that quietly drifts back to old habits. She introduces RECCA™, a framework of five human capabilities (Resilience, Emotional Intelligence, Creativity, Communication, Adaptability) and shows how leaders either activate or suppress them through everyday implementation choices.

This talk explores one of the most pressing questions in today's workplace: as AI takes over routine tasks, how can junior professionals continue to develop the judgment and experience needed to succeed? The programme will feature a fireside chat after the talk, exploring how young professionals can continue to learn and develop, what senior leaders and sponsors should do differently, and practical steps that attendees can apply immediately in their own roles. Attendees leave with a practical way to redesign the learning path, a clear picture of a team that thinks with AI rather than just using it, and a way to keep building their own judgment as execution gets cheaper.

Key speaker: Angie Lau, Founder, Authentic Intelligence™

Angie Lau is a former Bloomberg TV global anchor and the founder of Authentic Intelligence™, which helps senior leaders build the human capabilities that make AI productive. Over more than 25 years in broadcast and global media, she interviewed the people who run the global economy, and she now works with around 100 senior leaders across global finance, central banking and the Fortune 500. Angie founded Forkast.News, the Hong Kong-born media outlet, and is a professional keynote speaker and moderator. She also runs Life Beyond School, an education program for children and families.

Admission: This in-person event is free to attend and open to ICMA members only and APLMA members only and invite-only. Please note that participation may be on a first-come, first-served basis due to venue restrictions.
