Future
of Work
Visionary Thought Leader in Times of Innovative Technologies
Every year, Future of Work organizes a festival in the last week of October as a cultural counterpart of the Den Bosch Data Week.
During the year, Future of Work organizes various expert meetings to support the (local) business community.
The Future of Work Foundation seeks the connection between the creative representations of future innovations and the (professional) practice of the day after tomorrow. Future of Work is the platform where thought leadership and substantive events come together and where the role that work plays in society and how we value in the future work will be questioned, experienced and celebrated.
The Future of Work Foundation serves two purposes:
- 1. New values in society are created by using creativity and imagination as a means.
- 2. Tantalizing future scenarios are visualized and experienced by realizing sustainable recurring events and thus nurturing a larger mission. A mission that we do not yet know and that can change over time. Each event therefore offers a different angle from which a vision of the future of work is developed.
Future of Work examines a long-term vision of work in the not-too-far future:
- — What will the future of work be and how do we prepare for it?
- — Who are the workers of the future, what are their competences?
- — How can work & training become better prepared for the future, so future-proof?
- — What role do creativity, innovation and imagination play in the development of work and workers?
- — What imagination is needed to be able to think 10-15 years ahead?
- — How do we create new interdisciplinary connections between and with various domains and fields?
