ABOUT THE SESSION
GHD spent a year living on the frontier as part of a small group of firms to learn what the firm of the future really means — not just the technology, but also how people work, lead and deliver inside it.
In this session, Paul Murphy shares a candid account of that year: what changed for our people and clients, the bets that paid off and those that didn’t, and what’s still to be done as AI continues to reshape work and industries.
