International Webinar: The OECD's work around Blockchain, Fintech, and the Impact of COVID-19 on financial services
2020-06-17 17:00 UTC
Description
Join us on Wednesday 17th of June at 05.00 PM for an Exclusive International Webinar on “The OECD’s work around Blockchain, Fintech, and the Impact of COVID-19 on financial services” with Caroline Malcolm, Head of Global Blockchain Policy Centre at Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Young Global Leader of the WEF.
Context:
Blockchain has been heralded as the technology of the future for several years. But is it? We are not yet seeing large scale deployment of Blockchain based solutions in any sector, let alone in financial services. Will it really change the world or will it fade and die? Why should we care about Blockchain and what value could it really deliver to businesses, to us as individuals, and to global economics?
Caroline Malcolm heads the Global Blockchain Policy Centre at the OECD. The OECD, as other supranational/international bodies are working hard on coordinating blockchain research and policy across their members. We will hear from Caroline about the work of the OECD on Blockchain and why it is important to them and us.
Agenda and Learning Outcomes:

What work is the OECD conducting on blockchain and why?
How are countries looking at blockchain, where will it add value?
What more can be done to drive blockchain adoption? Will international coordination help, and can that be expected?

Learn more about Caroline Malcolm
Caroline heads the OECD’s work on blockchain, assessing its policy implications & building solutions to ensure governments across the world can access and respond to the opportunities and challenges it raises. In this capacity, she has also developed a training programme for policymakers on DLT, leads an advisory board of 100 global blockchain experts, and coordinates a network of project managers across the OECD relating to blockchain in topics as diverse as competition policy, SMEs, the environment, data privacy and the sustainable development goals.
Learn more about the OECD
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international organisation that works to build better policies for better lives. Our goal is to shape policies that foster prosperity, equality, opportunity and well-being for all. We draw on almost 60 years of experience and insights to better prepare the world of tomorrow.
Together with governments, policy makers and citizens, we work on establishing evidence-based international standards and finding solutions to a range of social, economic and environmental challenges. From improving economic performance and creating jobs to fostering strong education and fighting international tax evasion, we provide a unique forum and knowledge hub for data and analysis, exchange of experiences, best-practice sharing, and advice on public policies and international standard-setting.

Thrive in the New Normal – design better ways of working
2020-05-29 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Description
LHoFT and Deloitte Luxembourg Webinar
“Thrive in the New Normal – Design better ways of working.”
We are pleased to invite you to our next webinar “Thrive in the New Normal – Design better ways of working” developped in collaboration with our partner Deloitte Luxembourg.
Dr. Marc Sniukas, Head of Innovation at Deloitte Luxembourg, will explain why we need to discover new ways of working and how to reshape agile work to flourish in this new world.
During this webinar, Dr. Marc Sniukas will explain that
Organizations face many challenges today… Digital Transformation, changing customer expectations, employee disengagement, the need to cut cost, the threat of being disrupted, black swan events like COVID-19, … The business environment is becoming increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex.
To overcome these challenges, organizations will need to… become increasingly adaptable, boost their speed of execution, be able to sense and respond to change in agile ways, experiment with new solutions and approaches, learn and adapt fast, and transform continuously.
Yet our current ways of working, leading, and organizing are inhibiting us from doing so. Command-and-control cultures, hierarchies, rigid procedures, siloed departments, and teams, complex matrix organizations, crippling bureaucracies, complicated decision-making and approval procedures, inefficient meetings … all the distinctive features of how many organizations still operate today are inhibiting teams, leaders, companies from doing their best work.
We believe it’s time we re-invented how we work.
Duration: 60 minutes
Meet our speaker:
