The Future of Work 4.0: Disruptive technologies, opportunity or threat?

Technology is rapidly changing both our work and lives. Many experts are predicting that we are rapidly headed toward a 'fourth industrial revolution'.

In this seminar, Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of People and Organisations at The Open University, Dr Peter Bloom, asked how can the rapid technological advances in computing, robotics and communications that are revolutionising work and life, be empowering, rather than dis-empowering, for people and organisations? He explored the ways in which practitioners can use technology for social empowerment and how we can create a smarter workforce.
