I listened to the first 30 minutes of 4 or 5 episodes. They had IBM/HR, Cleveland clinic, Deloitte, workforce transitions and one other. Polite, well spoken corporate blather. It's the problem you get when you get the top person to speak; they can't say much of anything. Older marcomm people love the well packaged CEO, but podcasting is different. Deloitte's leader got great questions on remote work, specialists vs generalists, etc. In all cases, his answer was some version of "it depends on the need and situation"; that was about all. Absolutely true, but screamingly obvious. Actually every episode was high level corporate positions; same as you'd get from chatgpt if you asked for half a dozen paragraphs on something. I realize my review is out of sync with others. Either my tastes are different or people under these very powerful guests are concouraged to contribute.

Pwc is a bad place to work with poor culture and coaching reconsider the folks u bring on

As a community college president, I am keenly interested in the future of work and the role community colleges play in preparing the workforce. This podcast is an essential tool for me in leading my college to meet workforce needs of today and tommorow.

The host is Uber thorough!

Easily the most interesting podcast on the future of work. Diverse guests, informed hosts, diverse topics. Episodes are punchy and a reasonable length. And they’re not selling anything— it’s just the best ideas with the most interesting people in the space

Joe, Bill, and their incredibly knowledgeable guests shine the brightest of lights on the evolution of work, as well as excellent advice on how to make it work for you! Bold, insightful, and engaging are just a few of the words I’d use to describe the time you’ll spend with them. Thanks for putting out such a superb show guys - keep up the great work!

Interesting conversations from thought leaders across industry about how tech trends and other forces will shape the future economy and how we work within it. An informed take that digs deeper than just “what jobs will be automated in the future.”

This podcast is an interesting and informative way of getting insight into how business leaders are thinking about issues like changing workforce requirements and technology’s implications. The way this podcast gets behind the scenes about how leaders develop their thinking is valuable. Additionally getting perspective from non-business leaders is an interesting counterpoint to the business perspectives.

Many people who think about the future of work tend to focus on one or two topics (e.g., automation, globalization) and only address the superficial elements at stake. Professors Kerr and Fuller take the opposite approach in this podcast. They cover a range of topics that might get left out of typical conversations about the future of work (e.g., workforce reskilling, degree inflation), and dive in-depth to give insights that are both fascinating and practical for business leaders. Anybody who is anxious about what the next few years, decades, or even centuries have in store for their organization would be well served to have a listen.

The podcast covers an impressive array of topics relating to how we work with shrewd commentary and analysis. This production by HBS brings together thought leaders who are just as insightful as they are accomplished. Hats off to all involved.

Super important topic! Glad to see Harvard focusing more on this.

Fantastic podcast series. Its great to hear insights from Professor Kerr and his guests about such an important topic. Very interesting podcast, relevant to current agenda, and I'm looking forward to upcoming episodes.

Great podcast! Wide range of topics that are changing the way we work.

This podcast is full of engaging and insightful material, and it is a great resource for business professionals in any kind of company. It really makes you think about what the workplace tomorrow is going to look like and how to prepare for the advent of new technologies and major shifts in how we think about work. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic work by the HBS team on this series! Provides great insights and perspectives into how people see the workplace evolving. Highly recommend!

Excellent podcast. Hosts high-quality guests and raises prescient issues.

Great guests, insights, and conversation. Policy makers, corporate leaders, and education stakeholders would be well served to engage meaningfully on this highly pertinent topic. Sure to help listeners better understand the middle-skills gap. A great forum to engage on the opportunities and challenges that will define the future of work. Hats off to Professors Kerr and Fuller.

Great to not only focus on the typical “which jobs are going to be automated” but also think through the implication of demographic trends and social security policies

I took MFW with Prof Kerr, and it was a great course that explored the challenges business leaders face given the pace of technological change. The podcast is an extension - but is also fascinating as standalone content. Looking forward to future episodes!

It’s hard to imagine a more compelling topic for business leaders and workers in today’s economy. Developing a workforce that can overcome the “middle skills” gap requires many stakeholders - labor leaders, business executives and farsighted politicians. This podcast gives you access to people successfully navigating this thorny challenge. Well worth it!

A fascinating and incredibly relevant take on how businesses, politicians, and society must adapt to the fundamental shifts in the workplace that automation will bring. Love hearing from industry titans themselves such as the Vodafone CEO. Entertaining, informative, and pertinent!

Wow. It's fascinating and a little scary to hear how many people will be impacted by automation.
