In conversation with Professor Lynda Gratton: The Future of Work
Join us for an intimate discussion as Audley Senior Advisor and Stanford Center on Longevity Ambassador Annie Coleman sits down with renowned thought-leader Professor Lynda Gratton to explore the pressing question: What is the future of work—and how can companies and individuals prepare?
We are living through the most significant global shift in the world of work in over a century. This moment presents a unique opportunity to rethink, reimagine, and radically redesign the way we work. But what will our working lives look like 20 years from now? What should we be preparing for? How, where, and with whom will we be working?
Professor Lynda Gratton will share insights from her thirty years of research into the technological, demographic, cultural, and societal trends that are transforming work. The discussion will also reflect on the long-term changes accelerated by the global pandemic.
