Join CU Boulder Human Resources for a special screening of the Sept. 25 campus talk by internationally renowned future-of-work strategist Heather McGowan on higher education’s challenges in confronting the changing nature of work.
McGowan is known for her work helping leaders prepare their people and organizations for what World Economic Forum Chair Klaus Schwab has termed the “Fourth Industrial Revolution,” which Schwab and a number of futurists characterize as a time of rapid advancement of technology into the domain of human knowledge work. In this rapidly approaching future, McGowan says humans must continuously learn and adapt, and with this transition comes information overload. LinkedIn has ranked McGowan as its number one global voice for education and Pulitzer Prize–winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman frequently quotes her in his books and columns, describing her as “the oasis” when it comes to insights into the future of work.
Following the viewing, Merna Jacobsen, Phd, Assistant Vice Chancellor and Deputy Chief HR Officer will lead a discussion on the implications of future work at CU Boulder.
This is event is open to CU Boulder Faculty & Staff. Space is limited. Registration is required.
