Automation, robots and globalization are rapidly changing the workplace and governments must act fast and decisively to counter the effects or face a worsening of social and economic tensions, the OECD warned. (Bloomberg)

The future of work is one of the hottest management topics of the day. This complex subject is broken into three main categories, according to a podcast from McKinsey: automation, changing models (think gig), and income stagnation/equality.

What will jobs alongside machines look like? What do we need to do – as organisations and as individuals – to prepare for these wide-ranging scenarios. How do you get ready?

Change is a constant, so flexibility and creativity are of paramount importance. Be prepared for the future of work.

We’re honoured to have three top-notch professionals to dive in and pull apart our topic:
