How do we find meaning and direction in our working lives?
Our economic system is blind to quality - simply encouraging us to maximise profit. The low hanging fruit of globalisation and cheap resources has been picked. Automation and AI present opportunities to replace workers in the pursuit of efficiency gains, but then what?
It’s easy to forget that technology should improve our lives. With only 10% of the workforce actively engaged, should we use this as an opportunity to invest in people, and free them from drudgery? Humans have long been cogs in the machine, but we accepted this when progress was assured, hopeful, and secure. The rules of this game have changed, how do we find new ones which allow everyone to play together?
How do we experiment and find new ways to bring purpose and profit together?
How do we create experiences which bring young people, innovative businesses, and communities together to solve local social challenges?
What are the real reasons behind our stagnating productivity problems, and how do we fix them?
What will we do in a future with less work, what problems should we solve?
