Tomorrow's Workforce - Event Write-up

Mark Spelman, Member of the Executive Committee at The World Economic Forum, explains why businesses need to plan today for the workforce of tomorrow.

Points discussed include:

Due to big data and the Internet of Things, the ability to connect objects and people is changing the business environment
The development of artificial intelligence will alter our workforce requirements, and perhaps even our class system
Tomorrow's workforce is more likely to be transient and hired for short periods
We must think about how we reskill and upskill our staff; the right talent will be limited, so we can't all poach the staff we need
