Thriving Amid Disruption: Leadership, Work & Strategy in the Age of AI at CPO Outlook 2025
Thriving Amid Disruption: Leadership, Work & Strategy in the Age of AI at CPO Outlook 2025

At CPO Outlook 2025, we end two days of intense peer exchange by zooming out — to look at what the future of work, leadership, and collaboration might actually feel like. Suzana Drakulic will also discuss how the Google Workspace is shaping the future. Suzana Drakulic, Head of Google Workspace Nordics & Central Eastern Europe, will close the summit with the keynote “Thriving Amid Disruption: Leadership, Work & Strategy in the Age of AI.”

Why this matters

AI is not just transforming procurement systems — it’s reshaping how we all organize, decide, and connect. Hybrid teams, digital collaboration, and information flow are redefining what “work” means. Suzana’s future of work session at CPO Outlook 2025 explores how forward-looking organizations are combining technology with culture to help people and performance thrive.

More than a decade ago — at EBG’s P2P Summit 2013 — we last met Suzana, when cloud collaboration was still a bold experiment. Today, she helps global companies design human-centred digital workplaces that turn disruption into empowerment as seen at the CPO Outlook 2025.

What will be explored

  • How AI is shifting the way companies organize and make decisions
  • What the future of work looks like when collaboration is tech-augmented
  • Why leadership mindset, not just tools, will define business success
