Briefing: understanding new disruptive technology

Business today deals with disruption on a daily basis… whether it is emails, mobiles or online content, there has been a revolution in terms of how we as individuals and businesses consume media.

What is the impact of this on hospitality? As an industry, hospitality will evolve and be disrupted, but not at the pace we are seeing in other fields of business. The premise of hospitality has not changed for 2,000 years and will continue to develop whilst maintaining its guiding principles.

Some leading thinkers and entrepreneurs appear in this briefing talking about business and how technology fits into this new mix. Including comment from:

  • Baroness Lane-Fox of Soho, the UK Digital Champion on the opportunities and cost technology delivers
  • Julie Meyer, Founder & CEO of Ariadne Capital on disruptive technologies now being engrained in life
  • Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden and Airline entrepreneur on what business is all about
  • And Graeme Codrington, futurist at TomorrowToday on how computers and technology will have replaced doctors, lawyers and accountants within 10 years.

Briefing: sourcing and incubating talent

For those who were not able to attend IHIF last month, our own Peter Malone facilitated a session which focused on sourcing and incubating talent. He was joined by:

  • Srdjan Milekovic, VP – Human Resources, Hyatt International (EMEA) LLC
  • Pierre O. Botteron, VP – Human Resources, Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts
  • Franco Valletta, Chief Officer – Organisation Development & HR, Corinthia Hotels
  • Tony Voller, SVP – HR Asia, Middle East, Africa & Europe & Global Resourcing, IHG

The panel discussed sourcing, incubating, retention and technology in relation to hospitality people, and naturally provided an interesting range of experience and expertise.

Despite the impressive line-up, Peter decided even more expertise would be useful to the audience, so he arranged for another 15 people from the industry, with great experience and perspective of talent, to share their “pearls of wisdom” in relation to recruiting and retaining the best people.

The four short videos below are the result of Peter’s request for help, and are a great resource for anyone in the industry who needs to focus on getting the best from hospitality people.
