Description
Reimagining work for the next three decades – a framework in development
As organisations undergo radical transformation, they face mounting pressure to redesign workplace dynamics for long-term sustainability. This professional development workshop addresses critical tensions between generational expectations, work-life integration, and evolving capital-labour relationships through systematic conceptual mapping.
The workshop's strategic approach combines expert analysis with collaborative problem-solving to tackle fundamental questions: How can organisations balance technological advancement with human agency? What safety nets ensure resilient employment relationships across demographic shifts? How do we navigate geopolitical uncertainties while maintaining operational effectiveness?
This workshop offers strategic foresight into management research directions, positioning participants to understand organisational transformation initiatives by addressing voice, agency, and security concerns that define sustainable work environments.
The collaborative format ensures practical solutions emerge from diverse perspectives, creating blueprints for workplace evolution that serve both current workforce needs and future requirements in an increasingly complex global economy.
Participants can expect an exchange of ideas and interactive group sessions. The workshop starts with warm up including introduction of participants, networking opportunity, and ends with closing remarks.
