About the event
Every last Thursday evening of the month, The Refinery Dialogues bring together forward-thinking minds to explore leadership, innovation, culture, wellbeing and the future of work.
On 30 July 2026, we welcome Eric Stryson, Managing Director at The Global Institute For Tomorrow (GIFT), an internationally recognised Hong Kong–based think tank focused on leadership, governance and business model innovation.
In this age of Agentic AI, Eric will share how business leaders can get the most out of humans and Agentic AI; something which is now more critical than ever as teams of humans and AI work alongside one another and the job of management grows more complex.
Blending theory with discussion and anecdotes from recent organisational and culture transformation projects, Eric will:
• Explain why human skills remain the priority for business leaders
• Unpack the apps and workflows that help hybrid managers
