Key summary points from Marco Argenti, Chief Information Officer of Goldman Sachs:

• Not all professions will be disrupted the same way, or in the same timeline. But if you are working in one of the professions that the GDPval report identified as most likely to disrupted-developers, lawyers, and property managers to name a few-the question of how to adapt is a pressing one. It's time to be curious, open-minded, and willing to let go of even the most successful professional habits, while hanging on to the human qualities that will not change, such as your instincts, your judgement, your values.
• His advice to bankers is to let go of the urge to be in direct control every step of the way, like producing every single line of content in a pitch deck. Now, their tasks should focus on providing clear instructions so that agents can operate more effectively towards a goal, and to ensure that proper controls are applied systemically and consistently, so that they could allow agents to safely execute tasks on their behalf, i.e. from individual contributor to supervisor and mentor.
• The new challenge is not to just optimize but to rethink employees roles and companies. Don't just reskill, reimagine skills and build new habits. Consider a hybrid workforce of agents and humans as the new normal and rewire your company around this assumption. All this involves clear leadership, clarity of objectives and outcomes and mastery of your own data.
