Speaking about the future of work in rainy Oman.

I'm just back from a visit to Muscat, Oman as a speaker at the 7th Annual OSHRM Conference, on the theme "sprinting towards the future of work." The city was flooded as I arrived, so much of the city was closed. Being from the UK, there was nothing particularly extraordinary for me about the amount of rain, I guess it’s just the case that rain itself is somewhat extraordinary in Oman, and it makes travel and roads very difficult. Despite this, the organising team did and remarkable and very agile job, bringing a huge group of speakers from around the world to explore AI, disruption, diversity, and the challenges for HR leaders. My thanks to Di Ghalib Alhosni and all the OSHRM team, particularly the volunteers, who were amazing. My take: AI is exciting, but the future of work is still human. Our challenge is to make work better. I got a note from the organisers which made me blush: “Your insights and expertise were invaluable additions to the event, and we received glowing feedback from attendees about the impact of your contribution.” Glowing, I’ll take that and very much hope to return.
