“Make People Matter - Unlocking the Secret to Maximizing Human Potential” You’re invited to an unforgettable key- note that will redefine how you lead your people strategy in an increasingly AI-driven, fast-evolving workplace. In “Make People Matter – Unlocking the Secret to Maximizing Human Poten- tial,” global thought leader and Found- er & CEO of Codebreaker Technologies, Cheri Tree , introduces a transfor- mative approach rooted in the BANK methodology—an innovative people science that combines behavioral psy- chology, emotional intelligence, and cutting-edge AI to revolutionize connection and communication in the workplace. This experience is designed for forward-thinking HR professionals who don’t just want to adapt to the future of work but shape it by putting people first.
