<p>Part chaos, part rocket fuel, Claire Haidar is a technology entrepreneur, student pilot and future thinker about all things human, work and play.</p><p>She believes that work is now a chaotic place. This is good and ultimately positive for humanity, but it’s highly disruptive for the foreseeable future. Chaos theory defined is this: what appears to be chaotic is in fact a complex system, where a lot of micro changes are happening regularly, in a seemingly unpredictable way.</p><p>Work on a global level is adopting these exact characteristics. Claire’s deep passion lies in enabling individuals, teams and organizations to embrace behaviors that enable them to move into this new world of work.</p><p>She and the team she leads at WNDYR, are using data and AI to understand how and where distributed teams are working inside multiple systems. They construct visual digital assembly lines for their clients, enabling them to optimize their work and teams. </p><p>In compelling, vibrant presentations, Claire shares her deep, highly contagious enthusiasm and belief in the power of technology to enable human acceleration, optimum organizational performance and workspaces that help the humans who work there — physically or remote — to thrive.</p><p>WNDYR — the name combines the concepts of Wondering and Wandering — has grown from a mere idea into a global company, serving customers across the globe. It has attracted an impressive diverse team and partners who all want to shift the world just a little... or maybe a lot!</p><p>Claire challenges the status quo, pushes the boundaries on what is possible, and asks the big questions that a lot of us are afraid to really confront and act on. If you want your mental boxes to be challenged, if you want to color outside the lines, then invite Claire to challenge your team or audience on topics such as the future of work in a world of chaos and robots, play as an essential part of work, human acceleration in an automated world and visualizing organizations at work as playgrounds.</p><p>She’s building a rocket... you’ll want to board this one.</p>

<ul><li><strong>Chaos Theory: A Future-of-Work-is-Now Perspective</strong></li></ul><p>The future of work is chaos — and that’s ultimately a good thing. </p><p>Claire Haidar challenges audiences, leaders and organizations to think differently about the future of work and about chaos. As co-founder and CEO of the digital transformation services company WNDYR, Claire believes that technology is disrupting the way we work much as it has disrupted businesses and people’s lives — in ways we can neither fully predict or control.</p><p>Using AI and data gathered from thousands of organizations, Claire shows audiences why embracing and harnessing chaos works better than systematically trying to rein it in and shares what she’s learned about building cultures of collaboration, creativity and trust.</p><ul><li><strong>Remote Work: The Lessons We’ve Learnt in Building a Global, Remote Organization</strong></li></ul><p>The name of the startup technology company that Claire Haidar co-founded and now leads is WNDYR — a name that combines the concepts of Wondering and Wandering. It has grown from a team of three to a globally distributed team of 33 — in 24 short months. </p><p>In this presentation, Claire shares lessons learned along the way and considers the factors that made her teams so successful — not just in spite of, but because of the decision to be a work-from-anywhere organization. </p><p>She also considers the characteristics of organizations that are thriving in today’s already-here “future of work” world, and challenges audiences to be more curious and less certain about what works best and why.</p>
