Please join us at the Yale School of Management for an intimate conversation between two leading voices on the changing nature of work. From the academic perspective to industry application to new technologies coming to market, Amy and Laszlo will shine a light on what it means to find meaning at work—and why it matters to industries as much as to individuals.

Laszlo is credited with creating the field of “People Analytics”, the application of academic-quality rigor and Google-paced innovation to people management.
