Dr. Anna Gurun is speaker and consultant on the future of work, with experience speaking at in-company events and international conferences.
Anna directs the world’s leading Future of Work by HSM, which has brought more than 100 multinationals together over 13 years to explore what work will look like in the years ahead, and what individuals, organisations and institutions must do now to prepare.
Anna’s academic background focused on social movements, exploring how people use social networks and connections to instigate change. This has continued in her work with organisations, where she has developed expertise in marrying theory and practical action – taking abstract concepts but exploring how they work in practice, how they are perceived, and how institutions can take steps to build and develop them.
As organisations start to re-design the ways they work, what are the pitfalls and opportunities that need to be kept in mind? Anna explore how to be purposeful and intentional in this re-design, looking at productivity, networks and individual differences amongst others.
Are we naturally collaborative or competitive? How can our understanding of human behaviour enable us to unleash collaboration within organisations? Anna explores the unspoken rules that really govern organisations, and reveals the subtle changes required to bring about the collaborative cultures that drive innovation and success.
