Economist at Balliol College

University of Oxford

Reimagine the future of work.

Dr Daniel Susskind explores the impact that technology such as artificial intelligence and automation has on work and society.

His research de-mystifies the notion that the future of work will be overtaken by these impactful technologies, and instead believes future professions will be made by ‘human experts’.

Daniel previously worked in the British Government as a policy advisor and analyst at the PM’s strategy and policy units in 10 Downing Street.

Sharing his collection of anecdotes about technology and society, Daniel has a knack for explaining economics in a way that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

DR DANIE L SUSSKIND

KEYNOTE MAIN PROGRAM

Professor of organisational psychology

Queen Mary University of London

An evidence-based approach.

Wellbeing, stress, ethnicity, the psychological contract; These are just some of the topics that renowned organisational psychology professor Rob Briner has touched on in his expansive academic career.

Rob believes in the power of evidence-based practice – to the point that he believes that denying this approach undermines trust,

and leads to a distraction of a company’s primary task.

Rob also helps practitioners make better use of evidence when it comes to decision-making, and encourages academics to make research more readily available to create a better HR world for all.
