Workplace automation is becoming more widespread, and today’s AI-enabled, information-rich tools are increasingly able to handle jobs that in the past have been exclusively done by people (including tax returns, language translations, accounting, even some types of surgery) – automation is destined to have profound implications for the future world of work.
McKinsey recently reported that 30 percent of activities for 60 percent of occupations are now technically automatable. We will look at some of the evidence that supports this claim; how this is likely to change the workplace environment; the jobs, roles and skills that are being (or will be) affected, and whether these changes are heralding new opportunities or fuelling a dystopian future. It will be a lively discussion!
The breakfast briefing is scheduled for Wednesday 15th November, from 8.30am to 10am, and is being hosted by Norton Rose Fulbright (NRF) at their futuristic offices at 3 More London Riverside London, SE1 2AQ. As part of the session, NRF will share valuable insight to a global productive search solution they have recently implemented within their own workplace in order to maximise efficiency. Guests will also be invited to join a private tour of NRF’s impressive workplace, including their spectacular roof-top garden.
This event is one of many taking place during Workplace Week, which aims to raise funds for the BBC's Children In Need charity. Ticket price is £32, all of which goes to Children In Need . KIN and NRF are providing their services at zero cost.
More details and ticket purchase is available from the Workplace Week website.
Places are limited, so if the topic, breakfast, panoramic views of London from NRF's iconic rooftop garden and the opportunity to contribute to a worthwhile cause appeal to you, book your tickets now!
