SUMMARY:The Future of Work - The Human Side of AI - Portugal Tech Week 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Human Side of AI: Emotional Intelligence and the Future of 
 WorkWhat happens when we give people faster tools\, but they still struggle
  to work together?Two product managers in the same company hadn’t spoken 
 to each other in two and a half years. They wouldn’t even attend their te
 am meetings together.Imagine giving both of them powerful AI tools. They co
 uld analyse information and develop proposals faster. But eventually\, they
  would still need to speak to each other and agree on a decision.For Vincen
 t Azé\, this experience raises a question about the future of work: as tec
 hnology expands what we can do\, how do we develop our ability to do it tog
 ether?Drawing on ten years as an executive coach and an earlier internation
 al career in finance\, Vincent explores the human capabilities that help te
 ams move forward: taking responsibility\, listening with curiosity\, expres
 sing concerns and working through disagreement.He describes this work as th
 e oil in the engine. Teams need different perspectives and healthy debate. 
 They also need ways to handle the friction before it turns into resentment\
 , avoidance or years of silence.As artificial intelligence changes how we w
 ork\, could emotional intelligence be what helps us make that transition su
 ccessfully?What we’ll explore:How unresolved tension affects decisions\, 
 coordination and the everyday experience of work.Why greater individual cap
 ability does not automatically translate into better teamwork.What it means
  to manage ourselves and support others through change.How to approach a di
 fficult conversation that could help your team move forward.Who this is for
 :Founders\, leaders\, managers and anyone working in a team navigating grow
 th or technological change.The session:A personal talk grounded in real exp
 eriences\, followed by questions and an open discussion. Bring your perspec
 tive and a challenge you are thinking through.About Vincent:Vincent Azé is
  a founding partner of Kuma Partners. Following an international career in 
 fintech in London and Hong Kong\, he has spent the past ten years helping l
 eaders and teams improve how they work with their teams\, work through grow
 th\, high velocity\, frictions and conflicts.Kuma Partners works with found
 ers and leadership teams to strengthen alignment\, resolve friction and tur
 n decisions into action.Event details:Wednesday 11 November 202614:30 to 15
