Testimonials on FoW
‘At Nokia we are always interested to learn more about what we need to do to enable people to do the best work of their lives and create extraordinary results through future proofing ourselves and the organisation. We believe that through listening to others and sharing what we are doing then this becomes even more of a possibility and that’s why Nokia joined the Future of Work Consortium.’
Ian Gee, Head of Organisational Development, Nokia
‘Having spent an intensive period within the FOW community, I've been continually impressed by the calibre and passion of the individual members. We’re a diverse group of people yet there is clear consensus that current leaders need to be planning ahead now in order to steer towards an optimistic future for upcoming generations. The portal has been a new experience for most of us – it has enabled global conversations across different age groups, cultures and personalities. In fact, beyond the personal and organisational learning, it really has created a sense of community and purpose.’
Heather Sawyer, Director, People & Change, Colt
‘Without doubt the FOW consortium has been an innovative and extremely thought-provoking initiative. From the immersive point of view demonstrated by the participant companies, to the interactive way in which the programme was structured - blending online discussion with live webinars and face-to-face events - this consortium has stimulated debate across a massive range of important issues. It really has created a vision of the future of work.’
James Chapman, Human Capital Manager, Group HR, Organisational Effectiveness, RBS
The webinars have been very helpful as checkpoints along the journey to help synthesise what we've discussed and to make it more "real" for all of us and our organisations.

‘One of the key topics on the HR agenda of our customers and their Chief HR Officers is the workforce and the work of the future. The impact of megatrends like ageing population, Gen Y, globalisation and social networks, to name but a few, will be much more powerful than what many companies understand today. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a greater awareness in that space. By bringing together representatives of leading companies across the globe, the Hot Spots Consortium on FOW is creating a lot of momentum and awareness. Which is what Phase 1 is all about. Phase 2 will be the call to action, in other words how we as a team will turn the research and discussions into points of action for our organisations, customers and partners. Many thanks to Lynda and her team for driving this. I would have no doubt recommending other companies to join!’
