Elatia Abate's Speech Topics
The Future of HR: The Move from Business Partner to Business
Disruption has drastically shifted the landscape in which companies think, design, and implement strategy. This means that the role of HR also needs to shift dramatically, from one that simply partners with the business to one that drives the success of the business. This talk explores the shifts that we are being invited to make, while keeping people at the center of our decisions.
The Future of Now: The Path From Where You Are to Where We Are Going
How we work, how we live, how we are has changed. The disruption of the pandemic has accelerated structural and societal transformations that were already in motion, and is inviting us to create a world that is more collaborative, more inclusive, and more empowering. This dynamic conversation explores how we can move forward together.
Women in Blockchain and AI
Why there need to be more: The blockchain industry is currently comprised of 97% men, which brings with it the traditional challenges of male and female equality in the world. However, when this imbalance is paired with the potential of blockchain to be the mechanism of wealth distribution of the future, this raises questions of disparity of access to income and power at levels that are exponential. Additionally, the way that artificial intelligence and machine intelligence learn is through the (biased) perspectives that the rules of its coders give it. How might we get more women involved in the coding and building of these technologies to ensure a world with equal opportunity for all, as the future unfolds.
Preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
Lately, we have been reading about the “future of” everything – from work to education, from information to healthcare and everything in between.

How should we be thinking about our companies’ strategies if we aren’t sure how quickly technology – or which technologies – will enable growth or impede it?This dynamic talk, given from the perspective of living on the frontier of the future of work shows executives, politicians, educators, and students the tools they need to prepare and thrive in the future that is already now.
