The world is your office: AI and the evolution of work from anywhere
Thursday 17 March 2026, 6.30pm to 8.00pm
During the past decade, technological change and management practices have disrupted how organisations access global talent and organise work. Thousands of employees are now enabled to work from anywhere. Why? Because trailblazing organisations recognise that geographic flexibility offers a competitive edge.
These shifts have had profound implications for workers, organisations, and society. Now, a second wave of disruption is emerging. Driven by digital twins - a combination of AI, sensors, and automation - this new phenomenon is reshaping how we think about attracting talent beyond geographical boundaries. Join Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury for a research-rich deep dive into the future of work, drawing on over a decade of pioneering research on ‘Work from Anywhere’. Presenting insights from his recent book, The World is Your Office, Raj tackles the essential question: How should we organise work in a digitally flexible world?
