Where technology intersects with the future of work

Colin Fraser, discusses the opportunities and challenges caused by generative AI technology, particularly in fields traditionally considered outside the realm of automation.  He touches on the potential resistance to adopting AI tools in conservative professions, like finance due to concerns about bias and regulation.

Colin shares the three core components that play a significant role in shaping the future of work in the context of social and cultural norms, technological advancements, and the environment. He addresses the challenges faced by leaders of SMEs in determining work arrangements, productivity, and performance in the office and remote settings.

The conversation touches on the need for individualized approaches to work arrangements, recognising that different individuals thrive in different environments and it’s important to consider the unique circumstances to get the best out of each person. Colin emphasizes the importance of teamwork, common goals, and avoiding a perception of privilege or punishment based on work location.
