Innovation
How will it impact the UK economy’s future?
Innovation enables businesses to grow and improves UK competitiveness. A UK government report showed that innovation was estimated to have accounted for 51% of labour productivity growth between 2000 and 2008. But how will it shape the future of the UK economy?
Fujitsu’s ‘Nova’ series, inspired by the innovation challenge in the UK, is a thought leadership series shining a light on new, tangible aspects of innovation influencing the current and future direction of the UK economy.
Connecting leaders operating in digital teams, dedicated innovation units and business service lines, the series draws on international best practice to offer expert insight on how organisations can tackle strategic economic challenges, ranging from effectively adopting emerging technologies to stimulating entrepreneurship.
Discover How AI and Technology are shaping the future of work
The future of work isn’t just about adapting, it’s about leading. As AI and automation redefine the workplace, how can organisations empower employees to thrive in a rapidly evolving, intelligence-driven economy?
Join top leaders from public, private, and defence sectors as we explore the blueprint for an augmented workforce designed for the future. We’ll deep-dive into the role of agentic AI, automation, and next-generation technologies in re-imagining employee experiences—experiences that aren’t just responsive, but anticipatory, adaptive, and built for the next evolution of work.
The Future of Work - Panel Debate
What will the workplace of the future look like and how can organisations prepare employees - and the workforce of tomorrow - for the changes ahead? Jason Daniels (Chief Digital Officer UK, Fujitsu), Katie Amison (Data Analytics Apprentice, Fujitsu) and Shola Ogueboule (Software Engineer Degree Apprentice, Fujitsu) join Kate Hanaghan (Chief Research Officer, TechMarketView) to discuss.
The Future of Work - Interview with Euan Blair
What will the workplace look like in 2035 and how can organisations prepare employees - and the workforce of tomorrow - for the changes to come? Euan Blair (Founder and CEO, Multiverse) speaks to Kate Hanaghan (Chief Research Officer, TechMarketView) about a critical issue for businesses and public sector bodies across the UK.
The Future of Work – Highlights
AI is often treated as a 'toy' for early adopters and tech advocates, says Euan Blair. To move beyond this and integrate AI deeply into the workforce, organisations need formal, structured training programs.
At Fujitsu, early career professionals are given every opportunity to learn, grow, and shape their own journey. Data Analytics Apprentice Katie Amison explains how she's had the freedom to focus on discussing data analysis, rather than concentrating purely on coding.
What will the workplace look like in ten years - and how can we prepare school pupils for the changes we're likely to see? Fujitsu's UK Chief Digital Officer, Jason Daniels, spells out how government and industry can collaborate to support the education system.
Apprentices are split on AI’s impact on their future, says Shola Ogueboule. Some are unaware, while others see it as a tool to get ahead. The key to staying competitive is not fearing AI but learning to harness it effectively.
