E26: Cybersecurity in Practice

<h5>About the event</h5>
Cyber threats are on the rise – and so are the demands for regulatory compliance. The NIS 2 Directive places particularly high demands on companies of all sizes. But how can you turn legal requirements into concrete actions that strengthen resilience against attacks?
CBS Executive Education invites you to a free event exploring the current landscape and a new cybersecurity tool developed by CBS Associate Professor Jan Lemnitzer. Designed for organisations navigating compliance, the event will provide insights and inspiration for strengthening resilience. Lemnitzer will be joined on stage by Joen Magieres, senior political consultant in the Danish Chamber of Commerce, and a representative from one of the many SMEs that have tested the tool.&nbsp;

EE27: Shaping the Future of Work with AI

<h5>About the event</h5>
In the 18th century, the steam engine powered the Industrial Revolution. In the 1990s, the World Wide Web connected workplaces across the globe. Today, we are in the midst of another profound technological transformation: the rise of artificial intelligence.
AI is already transforming the way we work – both individually and as organisations. The question is no longer if AI will shape the future of work, but how. Which skills matter now, and which will be vital tomorrow?
Our upcoming CBS Executive Education event explores how AI is reshaping our working lives. Three CBS researchers will share their perspectives on what the rise of AI means for people and organisations in the years ahead. This is your chance to equip yourself with the tools and insights to adapt to change and integrate AI effectively into your work, ensuring you stay ahead in a quickly evolving landscape.
