Held in Singapore from 10 – 11 April 2019, the 2nd Future Workforce Asia Summit will zoom in on how the nature of work and workforce is changing in Asia, featuring over 20 case studies, insightful panels, interactive group discussions and topical workshops.

Technological advances are getting the majority of coverage in the future workforce debate but organisations really need to focus now on how their workforce structures will adapt and evolve to gain competitive advantage and survive in the fourth industrial revolution. We’ve put together a handy guide on how to future-proof your workforce in the digital age in ten steps.

Ahead of Future Workforce Asia Summit, we have compiled a collection of the top presentations from our global series of Future Workforce events for your reading pleasure. 

 In this Q&A session, Optus shared their reworking frameworks and introduced new strategies and methodologies to anticipate organisational needs. 

In this presentation Robert Carlyle, Director, Strategic Workforce Management at the Royal Bank of Canada explored:

• What are the key conversations that need to take within HR and with leaders to shape the workforce?
• How can the use of data become routine, part of the ‘way business is done’?
• What is the role of workforce planning in the larger context of managing human capital?
• How can the workforce be segmented for more precise, targeted development?
• How can technology enable eff ective workforce analysis, planning and management?

As we enter the fourth revolution it’s imperative that industries start to prepare for the workforce of the future. How will machines and humans align? How will structures and processes alter? How will the human workforce be upskilled?  In this whitepaper we explore:

• Considerations and strategies to prepare for a future workforce 
• How to adopt a new thinking
• How to encourage new job and skill creation 
• How to create an empowered and augmented workforce of the future

Right now, one of the most significant trends is the rise of robotics across all elements of the enterprise, transforming the way business is done. The implications will impact enterprises beyond what many of us can comprehend today.

We spoke to Martin Ford, a futurist and New York Times best-selling author, who offered a pragmatic view of what the future of work, and your place in it, will look like. He also addresses a bigger question: can accelerating technology disrupt our entire economic system to the point where a fundamental restructuring is required? And what should we do?
