Future of Work: Managing Change in the Workplace

This programme is designed to delve into the dynamic, transformative shifts in the nature and structure of work, as embodied by the hybrid workplace and to anticipate the changes that may follow.

The Future of Work programme aims to equip both individuals and organisations with the knowledge and foresight needed to navigate this rapidly evolving landscape.

The expression ‘The Future of Work’ has become commonly used among managers and thinkers. Yet, John Maynard Keynes in 1930 was predicting his grandchildren would only work 15 hours a week.

While this has not happened, work has changed faster in the last 4 years than in the last few decades.

The emergence of the hybrid workplace, accelerated by the pandemic alongside the rise of AI and further automation indicates that we have moved into a period of rapid change.

It has become difficult to distinguish between short-term fads and actual opportunities for positive change.

More than ever, managers need to think about the skills they will need to succeed in this fast-changing context, and how they can support the human resources strategy of their organisations.

In this programme, we will explore insights from academics, researchers, and consultants at the frontier of changes in the workplace.

We will explore a framework to approach the future of work, considering the uncertainty and the difficulties in predicting the changes ahead.

We will then move on to specific skills that will provide you with a competitive advantage in this new context.

Finally, we will adopt a broader perspective to look at how you can strategise at the organisational level to turn the changing nature of work into a competitive advantage.
