about this room
Four speakers, one slide and ten minutes each, on leading through change, uncertainty and new technology, with an open Q&A at the end.
Helene Jewell of Jewell Facilitation opens with what a six-person relay swim of the English Channel taught her about holding a team together when conditions keep changing. Rachel Jannaway of Jannaways follows with 'Human in the Lead, Not the Loop': whether the person you have named as accountable for an AI system actually has the authority to stop it. Two further talks complete the hour. Run by Bristol Creative Industries at The Station as part of Brazen.
ten-minute slots force one point made properly, and the AI-accountability question is the one most organisations have answered on paper only. Best for team leads and founders who have started delegating to systems rather than people.
