    Keynote speech: Structural Lag: The Future of Work at Risk

    • Klaus Schwab’s prescient work, The Fourth Industrial Revolution, focuses on advances in communication and connectivity rather than technology. Barriers to communication and connectivity can be traced to what Matilda Riley calls structural lag— Outmoded social institutions failing to provide opportunity for its members who represent a growing population with expanding influence and economic power. It occurs when popular philosophy falls behind technological and economic advances. I argue that we are leading in the 21st Century with a 20th Century mind-set. Artificial Intelligence garners much of the print when it comes to contemplating the future workforce but the ability or inability of organizations to adapt to the needs of the now and future worker will be the real story. In this session we will explore the future of work with respect to: 1) The redefinition of relationship to authority 2) The need of new metrics for productivity 3) The barriers to knowledge transfer

    Keynote speech: How can Spatial Computing and Sensory Augmentation Transform the Future of Work?

    • What impact is the merging of virtual and physical worlds having on the workplace? How can we develop and use mixed reality technologies to generate new ways of thinking and forms of creativity? How can artificial senses be used to widen our perception of reality? How can technology help us with the prerequisites for creative work such as maintaining good mental health? How can we mitigate against the ideology of productivity to help avoid the Hikikomori problem? How can automation become an asset instead of a threat? These themes and issues will be explored via a number of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) projects including WEKIT ECS which is newly formed spin off company from the recently completed project '[WEKIT] Wearable Experience for Knowledge Intensive Training’ http://wekit.eu. WEKIT won a 2.8 million Euro Horizon 2020 grant to generate ‘Wearable Experience’ (WE) an entirely new form of media.
