With pressures to de-layer, cut costs and the promises of AI to take over routine managerial and administrative tasks, what is the future of the middle manager?

Will there be fewer jobs, more automation and self management or will the integration of human and technology require more managers who integrate, make-sense and navigate the white-water rapids of change.

The session sets out to outline a possible trajectory for the future of management and to provoke rethinking of the design of the role of middle management.

Key Discussion Points

• How will AI and automation reshape the responsibilities of middle managers?

• What skills will be most critical as organizations flatten their structures?

• In hybrid and remote-first environments, how can managers maintain team cohesion, engagement, and accountability?

• What role will middle managers play in shaping organizational culture and inclusion?

• Which new metrics should we use to evaluate the success of middle management in the future?
