Today I am joined by Cathryn Barnard, the co-founder of Working The Future, a boutique consulting firm that provides work trend intelligence and advisory services to organisations. And we had a fascinating conversation about The Future of Work.
We discuss:
- Cat’s background and the creation of Working The Future
- An overview of the landscape now when it comes to work
- What Cat sees as the future of work, and how tech-centered she feels this will be
- How important the ability to adapt, embrace and build resilience to the technology of the future is
- We discuss the most important digital skill that is needed for the future of work
- We chat all about technology’s carbon footprint, ethics and values
- Cat shares what excites her about the future of work
- Finally, she shares her key message about the importance of preparing yourself for the future of work, especially in the ever-accelerating digital age
I hope you enjoy this episode!
