Research-led thought leadership

We avidly seek out and explore how the world is changing and how businesses and leaders need to adapt to thrive.  The distillation of our last decade of research is encapsulated in our first book, published in February 2024 by Bloomsbury Press: ‘The World of Work to 2030.  A practical guide to future-proofing your business and your career.’

Winner of ‘Leadership book of the year,’ recognised by The Financial Times as one of their ‘business books to read’ and an Amazon best seller, the book has been endorsed by leaders across industry, professional services, third sector, government and academia.

Book synopsis

In the context of work, consider two headlines we face. Firstly, that the financial reality is few of us can afford to retire and, secondly, that robots and AI are destroying the very jobs we need to make a living.

At the same time, the business landscape is full of hazards, with globalization, technology, talent shortages, ever-evolving employee demands and changing consumer choices all making it harder to create and maintain success. Competitors seemingly arrive from nowhere overnight, challenging and upending our markets.

The World of Work to 2030 is a practical book designed to address these challenges.  With a timeline purposefully designed to enable immediate action to be taken, and backed by extensive research, it is aimed at anyone who wants to know how to navigate the commercial and personal uncertainty of the future.
