  1. The career consumer with Bob Toohey

    The career consumer with Bob Toohey

    The future will see companies turning what they know about us as consumers into hyper-personalized, super-responsive experiences. Employees will demand that same personalized, flexible and immersive experience from work. We talk today a lot about candidate experience. The reality though is we often know more about our consumers than our own employees. In this episode, Marissa is joined by Bob Toohey, former EVP and Chief Human Resources Officer at US insurer Allstate, to look at the future demands of employees as career consumers. In a world where we can buy a car or a house on our phone, what will easy, admin-light and friction-free employee experience look like? How does our lack of knowledge about our own employees show up today? How could a real-time digital passport that captures our skills and experiences replace the resume or CV and unlock real career mobility? With employers knowing ever more about their employees to create more relevant experiences of work, what does this mean for privacy?

    The workless world with Calum Chace

    Experience says we tend to overestimate the short-term impact of a new technology, but underestimate its impact long-term. In all the AI hype of today, are we underestimating the seismic shift it will bring to the workplace of 2050? In this episode, Marissa is joined by advisor, author and co-founder of the London Futurists Calum Chace to explore the longer-term impact of AI on work and society, and what it means for our sense of purpose and identity. Our job roles have historically been key to our identities, but where will we find meaning in a world without jobs? What will be the last jobs to be automated? How will ‘work’ and ‘leisure’ be redefined in our lives in an AI-powered world? Will this be a world of AI-haves and AI-have-nots? How will we share the value AI creates?

    The multiple me with Tulsi Menon

    For decades, society has adapted itself to meet the needs of work. By 2050, it’s work that will have to adapt itself to the needs of society. Successful businesses will be those who understand this are reshape their offer to employees. In this episode, Marissa is joined by anthropologist Dr. Tulsi Menon who uses ethnography to understand this changing contract between societies, work and individuals. Our one-dimensional work identities are at odds with the complexity of who we really are. How will we choose to contribute the skills of our more complex true identities in the future? After 200 years of the same corporate hierarchies, what will these look like in a more democratic world of work? How can employers respond and move from a narrow culture of acceptance to a culture of excellence?

    My future, my rules with MKE Tech Hub

    Established professionals have one view of the future of work. The generation who will be living and working in that future have a very different one. They will be the leaders in 2050, so what do they want from employers and how will they shape work to meet their expectations? In this episode, Marissa hears from three of these voices: college students and grads at the start of their careers. Shradha Godishala, Jonathan David and Juan Lopez. Between them they’re studying mathematics, biology, business administration, entrepreneurship IT management and finance. They’re also all participants in Fuse, the Milwaukee Tech Hub’s summer AI bootcamp. Is the education we offer students today giving them what they need to build the future they want? Will company culture and values still be attractive to a new generation of workers who demand employers walk the talk? Will the lines between work and private and social lives blur, or will we still look for a sense of community from our jobs? What will it take to a place talent wants to contribute to in 2050?

    The end of the expert with Ian Beacraft

    We’ve spent decades valuing our input into work: the toil; the hours; the expertise. In the future, the focus will be on results: outputs not these inputs. With AI disrupting the process of work, the skill will lie in knowing how to delegate and orchestrate work. Today’s technical specialist will be replaced by the creative generalist who brings imagination to the use these new resources. In this episode, Marissa is joined by founder of innovation consultancy Signal and Cipher Ian Beacraft to discuss a world where creativity replaces toil and technical know-how as the currency of work. By 2050 AI will be as pervasive and unexceptional as 'digital' is today. What will happen to the technical expert in a world where knowledge is commodified? Are ‘creative generalists’ born or made? How do we skill ourselves for this future? Will we all have to become AI natives to run businesses top-down, or will changing to run them bottom-up allow us to learn from a new, AI-native generation? With businesses no longer needing huge infrastructure or large workforces to scale fast, what will happen to the number, role and value of companies themselves?
