We would love to hear your feedback, and it just takes a minute.
We’ve speculated for about a decade now that with the rise of robotics and increased automation, part of the labor market would undergo an inevitable shift. While AI applications can, in some cases, reduce the burden of physical labor, we still need people to develop and manage the machines. Even so, the labor market doesn’t seem to be keeping pace. With AI, employees become managers and with that comes the need of developing a new set of skills.
The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to welcome various key business leaders as they share with participants their view on the talent gap that may be holding up the adoption of machine learning and AI in marketing and offer suggestions on how the gap might be bridged.

Dr. Eveline Goodman - Hedtke
For more than ten years, Eveline has prepared individuals to approach challenging tasks with enthusiasm and ability, pushing them to grow beyond their own boundaries. She is trusted not only by international companies and renowned organizations – public figures too rely on her abilities to deliver results. She intimately understands the meaning of the words, “between the lines,” drawing on her personal and professional experience of juggling different cultures to see behind the psychological curtains. This background is, however, just the starting point from which she uses her enormous energy to put her ideas and vision into action. She combines her comprehensive academic education (Psychology and Neuroscience) with the practical lessons that arise in her life as an internationally-operating businesswoman to deliver success.
Her specialty – and her passion – is connecting talents and options. She recognizes potential, links it to tasks and positions, and takes pleasure in regularly overstepping the boundaries of conventional personnel and management training. For many years, she has lead workshops, presentations, road shows, and coaching sessions for individuals, companies, and organizations from diverse sectors (real estate, medicine, journalism, among others) – both in German and in English. Her charm, wit, and insight make her a memorable, individual, and – if need be – refreshingly undiplomatic consultant.
