Heather McGowan

The Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us. Thankfully, Future-of-work strategist Heather E. McGowan is helping leaders prepare their people and organizations for it. And not a moment too soon.

The global pandemic accelerated our transformation to digital and our entrance into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which has ushered in a rapid advancement of technology tools into the domain of human knowledge work. In this world, we humans must continuously learn and adapt in order to align with advances in technology achieving true augmentation. While it is irrefutable that technology tools can replace some human cognitive labor, in Heather’s optimistic view of the future of work, if we properly prepare we could unleash the potential of humanity.

In 2017, LinkedIn ranked her as its number one global voice for education. Pulitzer Prize–winning NYT columnist Thomas Friedman frequently quotes Heather in his books and columns and describes her as “the oasis” when it comes to insights into the future of work.

It’s no wonder that Heather advises and gives keynote addresses for organisations all over the world and, with her colleagues, provides bespoke consulting to help organizations adapt.

Heather gives lucidity to the complex topic of the future of work through her illuminating graphic frameworks and powerful metaphors, all backed by deep research. Her insightful sessions help employees and leaders alike prepare for and adapt to jobs that do not yet exist. Do not miss her. Your future depends on it.
