Keynote Speakers Botond Bognár Hungary Ambassador of Singularity University, Founder of Villa Budapest If we consider Hungary as a community, it is imperative that those employers and employees who are basically determining the operation of the community, get a close picture about the technology revolution that is shaping our time. Jon Ingham Strategic Dynamics Consultancy Services Ltd. Executive consultant I believe very strongly that there are better ways of managing people and developing organizations that most businesses are using today. So I like to help employers focus on best fit rather than best practice strategies, often based upon new technologies and responding to the increasingly fast and deep changes in the world of work.
Inspiratory Theme Leaders Talk Show The start-ups made a real revolution. But it is questionable whether we can keep profitability and efficiency with such a liberal and flexible structure. Talking about work styles, another important dilemma is the leadership. How can the world handle the Y and Z generation and the changes in leadership styles and behavior, they are bringing in? (Balázs Gyenese, EY) By the development of technology the world of game is expanding and becoming more real and versatile. Where are the borders? Today by the development of gamification, more and more people work in the game industry, but is it possible that in the future the majority s work will be gamified? (Balázs Vendler, MarkCon) For me, the most exciting dilemma is that we have to prepare for an organizational operation that we can not even envision clearly right now. Who thought 15 years ago, that today everyone will have cell phone and we will be able to connect to the internet from anywhere. This basically changed the way we live and operate today. (Rita Horváth, Unilever)
Professional partners - CEOs In the preparation process 10 CEOs were interviewed about their best practices, vision and future strategies regarding HR and the broad operation of their firm. Three of them participated in the CEO roundtable discussion at the Next HouR 2025 event.
