Our changing economy has led to a rise in entrepreneurship and this is now commonly viewed as the fastest, most reliable way to become wealthy. Combined with increased automation, the world of work is changing rapidly, with research showing 30 per cent of jobs in 60 per cent of organisations will be automated by 2030*.

Kingston University alumna, Michelle Raymond (HRM, 2011), will explore this radical change in the world of work in more detail, with insights from her wide-ranging experience of HR and coaching the SME sector. She will also give you the opportunity to test out your business ideas and help you capitalise on these major economic changes.
