Have you heard of the METAVERSE? What are your thoughts when you hear that term? Do you think of a continuum, a spectrum of digitally enhanced worlds, realities and business models that will revolutionize nearly all aspects of life and business in the next decade, allowing collaboration in virtual spaces, augmented physical places and a blend of both? It will create new lines of business and transform interactions between customers and companies.
Right now, businesses are racing toward a future very different from the one they were designed to operate in. Soon, every company will find themselves at the intersection of many new worlds, from building new physical and virtual realities to providing services in environments created by others. Join us, as our speaker shares how we will grow and thrive in this new and fast-changing world. The metaverse can bring about necessary change - starting with talent experiences.
