Keynote presentation: The Future of Work

In this one-of-a-kind presentation Emerge delegates will learn the key principles, mindset and frameworks of an academically trained and practising futurist.

• Unlearning the future - challenging the way we think about the future of work so we can think differently about action today
• ’New learning for new times’  - challenging key assumptions and ideas about the future of work, to unlock new ways of exploring action in the present. 

 Reanna Browne, Futurist & Director, Work Futures

3:10pm - 3:30pm 

AFTERNOON TEA Sponsored by SEEK

Session 8

Futures mapping: An interactive workshop

Reanna will walk through a futures framework (and mindset) that will help leaders make sense of the current and emerging futures of work(ers) landscape.

In small groups, our attendees will unpack and map the changing futures of work(ers) landscape, exploring emerging trends and issues, alongside declining systems and beliefs around work.  

Reanna will also walk through an action framework that will help Emerge delegates to explore new ways of thinking about action that help keep the lights on' and ensure viability beyond the now. An approach that helps leaders see first-hand how to manage the critical priorities of today, viable and aspirational visions of tomorrow and the ‘messy-middle’ of transformation in between.

• This is about getting practical - taking the insights from the earlier keynote and applying this practically
• Key outputs - in groups we will collectively develop an ‘outside map’ that we’ll use to identify some of the key changes that are occurring around work/recruitment. 
• Reanna will then walk through the template of an ‘inside map’ - a process that can be used to think about actions for your own organisation in the present
