Future Ready: AI & Navigating the Workplace of Tomorrow
Date: Tuesday, 26th August 2025
Time: 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Location: Online via MS Teams
Speaker: Dr. Marcus Bowles, Chair of the Institute for Working Futures
As AI rapidly transforms business models and decision-making, the real challenge for organisations isn’t just technological—it’s human. This session will explore how AI can be reframed not as a threat to jobs, but as a catalyst for capability, creativity, and continuous reinvention.
Drawing on real-world examples, workforce trends, and strategic insights from the Future Ready series, we’ll shift the conversation from automation to augmentation. You’ll gain fresh perspectives on how organisations are redesigning work to prioritise human adaptability—and how finance and business professionals can position themselves and their teams for relevance and resilience.
