Why Navigate exists

Workforce management has shifted.

What was once primarily an operational activity – focused on scheduling, compliance, and cost control – has become a leadership responsibility.

Organisations are now accountable for decisions that affect.

Navigate brings together those navigating this shift to explore how organisations are making better workforce management decisions in increasingly complex environments.

What to expect

From complexity to confident decisions in the age of AI

Erik Fjellborg, CEO and founder of Quinyx, looks at how AI is reshaping workforce management – and how leading organisations are using it to make faster, smarter, and more confident workforce decisions in an increasingly complex operating environment.

The next chapter of workforce management

Laurence Painell, Chief Product Officer at Quinyx, explores how workforce management technology is evolving in response to AI, data, and rising operational complexity – and where AI is already driving faster, better workforce decisions in frontline environments.

Real decisions, real trade-offs: balancing cost, compliance and trust

Hear from leaders managing large frontline workforces as they share how they balance cost, compliance, operational performance, and employee trust in practice – including speakers from Starbucks, Kendra Scott, SATS, and Puuilo.

The market view: what leaders need to prepare for next

Navigating the AI transition

Tobias Ahlin, Principal Design Engineer at GitHub, former design lead at Mojang Studios, and an early employee at Spotify, shares his perspective on how organisations can navigate the transition to an AI-driven future – and what emerging technologies mean for how teams work, build products, and make decisions.
