The Future of Work to 2030 Conclusion We’ve outlined in this report four very different models with huge implications for the world of work. The forces shaping these Four Worlds – the impact of megatrends, and automation in particular – cannot be ignored by governments, organisations or individuals. None of us can know with any certainty what the world will look like in 2030, but it’s very likely that facets of the Four Worlds will feature in some way and at some time.

Those organisations and individuals that understand potential futures, and what each might mean for them, and plan ahead, will be the best prepared to succeed. 38
