Our work

Work and society are transforming faster than ever before. To make change happen, we focus on the core challenges that this transformation presents:

People-centred technology

We are exploring and modelling the good practice and regulation of AI to protect human agency and promote sustainable growth. Governance and innovation go together.

Good transitions

We are navigating and improving transitions through fast-paced change, driven by new technologies and shaped by people. Work is a lens and site for societal change.

Flourishing places

We are partnering and empowering communities to shape their own futures and build the conditions for good work and living. Place matters.

We understand how people experience technological change at work and bring together government, industry and civil society to drive systemic change for a fairer future.
