Discussing the Future of Work

The future of work is a huge subject, not one that can really be tackled by in a forty minute period, but we gave it a shot at the Globe and Mail’s recent Future Forward conference. I was part of a panel that touched on such subjects as the gig economy, the prospects for younger workers and the role of technology (‘Will a robot take my job? Would a robot even WANT my job?’). We are not going to come up with solutions to everything immediately, but this is certainly the time to start talking about the issues.
