The operating model of most businesses today—“restraining change, not responding to it”—is no longer suited to the times. Lack of adaptability in an organization limits agility. In today's environment of global instability, economic uncertainty, and rapid adoption of technology, too many organizations have barriers to survival and growth and are mired in the quagmire.

Thoughtworks experts with an international background will show partners a disruptive and empowering view of augmented intelligence, a family of novel decision-making approaches that go beyond the common computer-centric paradigm to solve organizations’ most difficult problems. This enables them to foster sustainable innovation to develop organizational practices and enables industry-leading strategic decision-making and execution through an evidence-driven, value-driven approach.

With the trend of new energy and the rise of new players in car manufacturing, competition in the automotive industry continues to intensify. Cars are a large-scale “product” of comprehensive software and hardware. The quality of their product strength and experience determines the life and death of car companies. The internal vehicle design and R&D processes of car companies are in urgent need of new design ideas and methods.

We have observed in practice that the car, a product with a relatively long R&D cycle, requires a deeper understanding of the values and lifestyles of its target customer group. Only by understanding the trends of user needs, not just the current slice of needs, can the difference in experience be pinpointed.

At the same time, the continuous intensification of competition has forced various car companies to expand their horizons, imagining future travel scenarios, making decisions for tomorrow while looking at yesterday, to find new category opportunities or entry points for travel scenarios, and make arrangements in advance.

In short, thinking about travel scenarios facing the future and grasping demand trends to design user experience are new ideas and methods that car companies need to pay attention to. We will systematically answer two core questions through case studies: How do we identify user demand trends? How to conceive more subversive travel scenarios and travel methods?

As a leading enterprise in the field of environmental protection, Capital Environmental Protection Group will conform to and lead the trend in the field of environmental protection.

The past decades have witnessed the strong rise of China's Internet and platform economy. In the context of digital China, how do we understand the digitalization process throughout the various fields of society? What are the characteristics of the platform economy? Why are the individuals and organizations involved "stuck in the system"? How can companies keep an eye on "digital abandonment" and achieve social equity and digital inclusion? In this presentation, the author studies the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation around responsible technology and digital equity based on research and field stories from the past five years, starting from the local context of China.

This workshop revolves around the era of "digitalization" constantly reconstructing productivity and affecting the underlying logic of enterprises. AI, big data, metaverse, and Internet giants…  These buzzwords fill the headlines... so what do you think of when we say "digital labor"? Have you noticed that more and more studies are positioning groups such as food delivery riders and data annotators as the bottom workers of the digital industry? Have you thought about their dilemma of survival? Come to our workshop, through the "design for change" method proposed by Thoughtworks, to see what kind of future we’ll have if technology is only concerned with profit; and how we can shape the future through "responsible technological thinking"!
