With the rise of AI, what do humans still have to offer — in the classroom, the office, in general? Connection, collaboration, communication and creativity. Human-human interactions are still important and will become more so as some tasks get offloaded to AI. This three-session event is aimed at capturing the value of being human despite increasing AI adoption and the threat of being replaced by AI.
Facilitator Kat Koppett is the eponymous founder of Koppett, a global consultancy that blends organizational development with improvisation and storytelling to help leaders and teams perform at their best. She is the author of Training to Imagine: Practical Improvisational Theatre Techniques to Enhance Creativity, Teamwork, Leadership, and Learning, considered a seminal work in applied improvisation (now in its 3rd edition!).
Major corporations, foundations and organizations looking to improve workplace culture and collaboration have embraced the tools she has developed, and Koppett clients that have benefitted from her methods include Meta, Apple, NASA, PwC and the Clinton Global Initiative.
