Work, Worker, Workplace: Fuelled by Technology, Powered for Tomorrow

The world has changed. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020, seldom has there been such anticipation for the future.

But foretelling the future is never easy, especially with losses in every family, and entire nations gasping for breath. Moreover, whenever we think about tomorrow (whether immediate or distant), our point of view is constrained by the ideologies, scenarios and challenges of today.

At the same time, breakneck developments in technology and data sciences offer optimistic prophecies, and a much wider spectrum of options. As individuals and as a species, we have been forced to confront ideals we once knew and held very strongly. In a way, these transformations inspire us to think of what the future may bring with much more imagination.

In this issue, we aim to broaden our horizons and look at the possibilities regarding the structure, design and nature of work. What will be the skills and competencies of human workers in a data-centric workplace? At the same time, how will this diverse workforce intersect with the technologies of the future?

We explore the prospects of a digital landscape in our lineup:
