Upcoming Public Lectures
The runtime revolution: how generative AI is reshaping value and organisations
Wednesday 10 June, 6.30pm to 8pm
Old Theatre, Old Building, LSE Campus, and online
The modern world is built on principles of scarcity: the idea that value falls as supply increases, that technology and systems are designed to produce the same result every time, and that organisations form to minimise the costs and complications of exchange. Generative computing challenges each of these assumptions. Rather than relying on scarcity to create value, generative AI creates value through abundance, context, and variation. It generates unique, situation specific meaningful outputs at runtime, rather than replicating a predetermined design. In this new environment, increased supply can generate greater value, not less. And firms exist to create and capture value from abundance.
Join Professor Youngjin Yoo for his inaugural lecture, where he will set out a new agenda for understanding how this technological and economic shift is reshaping value creation, technological design, and the organisation.
Chair: Professor Sarah Ashwin, LSE

The world is your office: AI and the evolution of work from anywhere
Tuesday 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?
