  1. My future, my rules with MKE Tech Hub

    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?

  2. The end of the expert with Ian Beacraft

    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?

    Exit the Expert, Enter the Empath with Michael Henderson

    We live in an increasingly subjective reality, with values at the heart of all we do in the workplace. Understanding that will be essential to shaping corporate culture in 2050.  The art of corporate anthropology is one with which Michael Henderson is intimately familiar, creating more human-centered workplaces in a world dependent on technology and AI. Michael joins us in The Talent Time Machine this week as we uncover the principles which will prepare businesses for a more empathetic world, and how the human race could be afforded an unprecedented chance to ponder the nature of life itself… In this episode: What corporate anthropology covers and how it impacts the social dynamics of business culture A growing need to understand your workforce’s personal values and core principles The ‘wild west’ development of AI, with ranging, unforeseen outcomes Shifting attitudes from objective to subjective reality What young people should learn in order to prepare for the workplace of 2050
