The Future Of Work: Co-Living, Big Data, and Experience Design

The Push, Brisbane’s Entrepreneur Community, is hosting our next event 'The Future of Work: Experience Design, Co-Living, and Big Data’ on Monday the 19th of March, 2018.

Come along and listen to some of the most exciting changes we are likely to see to the way we work. We are fortunate to have 2 professionals who spend considerable time in the US researching The Future of Work.

This event will cover:

• How companies are using experience design to attract and retain talent (Did you know Google's New York office has a food truck that uses the elevator to go between floors to serve you awesome food? What about how Twitter is designing the entire work experience around #Lovewhereyouwork? Will we want to hang out in offices more than our own homes soon?)

• How the workplace is being engineered for immersive wellness (Did you know there are 50 sensors tracking everything in workplaces related to health, wellness, and cognitive function? How much particulate there is in the air, how much formaldehyde, CO2, the temperature?)

• Trends in smart devices in the workplace (Some U.S. Companies are now using smart glass to eliminate the need for window coverings. What if your phone could tell you the coolest place to sit in the office for the day, and even locate the closest coffee machine and have it make you your favourite coffee when you arrive? Yep, you heard it here first)

• How organisations can use predictive modelling to discover patterns months before traditional data sources (What if instead of waiting for customers to make complaints, you could identify those customers that you are most at risk of losing?)

• How emerging trends of modern data analytics are replacing traditional metrics across all industries (Forget about the flood risk rating for your suburb or street, soon you will have ratings that are specific to your land and the design of your building)

• Why co-living is becoming part of the work experience and what employees are looking for

• Distributed work and how this is changing the landscape of cities and real estate

• Changing patterns of work

• The future need for data savvy employees and managers

• Why the rise of Big Data should be coupled with an increased emphasis on privacy, data management and fraud prevention

• How the age of data will change jobs; what opportunities will be created and what jobs will change

• The future need for data savvy employees and managers

• And Much More.

Drinks and Food will be provided, with plenty of time to meet and mingle before and after the talk. The talk will include a Q & A session where there will be plenty of time for you to ask Libby and Adrian whatever you choose.
