Forrester Women's Leadership Program
Community. Advancement. Change.
The Forrester Women’s Leadership Program focuses on building community and advancing women in the organization by breaking down barriers and overcoming challenges. Learn advancement strategies and engage in conversations about developing meaningful relationships with women across CX, B2C marketing, and digital. All are welcome to join!
The Forrester Women’s Leadership Program will:
- Build community
- Inspire change
- Drive advancement
- Foster allyship and individual empowerment
- Facilitate meaningful connections
This year, we’ll explore the impact that genAI has on women in the workplace. The last 18 months have brought genAI to the forefront of the conversation around how work gets done. AI holds both risks and opportunities for women in the workplace. Bias in training data has the potential to infuse genAI-based content, perpetuating existing issues. But learning to leverage genAI brings the potential to accelerate career growth, optimize work, and improve outcomes. In this half-day workshop, we’ll use the power of community to seek out solutions, build human connections, and better understand the promise and the pitfalls of genAI on women at work.
