‘The outcome of this transformation is not given: it will depend on how we respond to the challenge.'

Sir Christopher Pissarides Nobel Laureate, Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Institute for the Future of Work

Our work

Work and society are already changing faster than ever before. Underpinned by a focus on institutions, our challenges look to shape this transformation, by and for people:

The Adoption Challenge

We are modelling new approaches that promote people's agency and expand their capabilities. We prioritise human over technological capabilities.

The Transitions Challenge

We are exploring and improving work transitions through this period of fast-paced change. We are empowering good work transitions for all.

The Accountability Challenge

We are designing governance and accountability mechanisms that work across the AI and job life cycles. New technologies need new controls.

We understand how people experience technological change at work and bring together government, industry and civil society to drive systemic change for a fairer future.
