Clients now ask for more than expertise.
AI has raised the bar. Clients now look for people who can both build the solution and understand the business it serves. We call them Purple Professionals.
Most start at one end of the spectrum: technical people who can build, or business people who make it matter. Clients get the most value when the two come together, in one person or in a team where everyone has a home colour and upskills to the other side. At Riverflex, purple teams are how we build: AI products anchored in real client problems, shaped by people who understand both the technology and the business.
Over the evening, we'll explore what skills clients currently look for, what a purple professional is, and how to upskill in the right direction.
What to expect
- The Purple Professional: what a purple professional is, where you sit on the spectrum today, and how to upskill in the right direction.
- Fireside chat and Q&A: a PRO shares how they built their purple skills and how to stay relevant in the age of AI.
- Roundtable discussion: a candid and open conversation on challenges and wins between like-minded PROs.
- Networking, drinks and bites: time to connect with fellow PROs and the Riverflex team.
