THE FUTURE OF WORK AND
CREATING THE WORKFORCE OF THE FUTURE
Lunchtime discussion with Tessa Forshaw, Harvard Presidential Scholar
Friday 13 December 12:30PM
We warmly invite Harvard Club of Victoria members and Harvard alumni and guests to a fascinating, highly interactive and practical lunchtime discussion on how to prepare yourself, your team and your organisation for the future of work.
As we enter a new phase of accelerating change and ambiguity driven by AI and other technological and societal upheavals, it has become more critical than ever that individuals, managers, teams and organisations learn how to continually evolve to survive and thrive in the workplace.
Tessa Forshaw is a Presidential Scholar at Harvard and co-founder of Harvard Kennedy School's Workforce Development Landscape Project as well as the Graduate School of Education's Next Level Lab, where she is focused on the development of the cognitive and creative skills needed for the future of work. An important part of her work involves partnering with real organisations to apply and test the latest approaches to learning new skills and adapting to workforce change. Before her post at Harvard, Tessa taught at Stanford's School of Engineering in the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design. Tessa started her career at Accenture and has also worked at IDEO and in a Silicon Valley design firm.
