2026 World Economic Forum Annual Meeting

Valence at Davos

Redesigning organizations in the Human + AI era

Join Valence at Davos 2026 as we tackle the paradox facing every enterprise leader:

AI's productivity gains are real, but they're trapped in shadow workflows, stalled pilots, and organizational structures designed for a different era.

In partnership with The Economist, Financial Times, and The Washington Post, we're hosting three provocative, invitation-only conversations for the C-suite focused on AI and the people function, and how to steer your organization to AI that transforms instead of just adding complexity.

The AI Productivity Paradox: 

Why the Gains Are Stuck in the Shadows of Work

An intimate lunchtime dialogue moderated by The Economist’s Deputy Executive Editor, Kenneth Cukier, on why AI productivity gains remain invisible at the enterprise level. Explore the gap between shadow AI usage and measurable business impact, the pilot purgatory trapping innovation, and why organizational design—not technology—is the real bottleneck to transformation.

Managing AI vs. Managing Humans:
