In this episode, Michael and Shevaun reflect on what it really means to lead through sustained change. From seismic geopolitical events and shifting UK politics to profound social change and the rapid rise of new technologies, they share first‑hand experiences of navigating uncertainty and transformation in business.

The discussion is anchored in insights from their joint research report, Powering productivity: AI and the future of UK work, which explores the evolving workforce and offers clear recommendations for both business and government. Rather than treating innovation as something organisations must tackle alone, Michael and Shevaun make a strong case for shared learning between business and government finding solutions together.

They explore how practical frameworks, toolkits and targeted support can accelerate responsible technology adoption and the breadth of thinking required to respond to future change in the workplace.

Join us for a conversation peppered with optimism for the future and shared enjoyment in leading, learning, and supporting UK business through such a pivotal moment.
