Chris is the Programme Manager for Cloud, Tech and Innovation

techUK continues to explore the opportunities, challenges, and implications that cloud technologies will bring in the future world of work, as part of the Exploring the Future of Work Series.

Following our event on how cloud can support the changing needs of the digital workforce beyond COVID-19?, we found three things that cloud is a crucial prefix for post-pandemic: infrastructure, security, and skills. And all three impact the future of work.

This panel session, taking place during Cloud Week 2022, will not only look at cloud skills for industries of today and tomorrow, but also how cloud is enabling automation and data-driven decision-making, and the changing structure of workforces as a result of digital transformation in organisations.

The panel will consider:

As more firms shift their operations to the cloud and workers increasingly work from home, how can businesses ensure security and that their digital infrastructure is fit for purpose?
As automation becomes the default and business models shift to accommodate digital-first strategies, how can we overcome the growing shortage of skills and talent?
What are the skills workers need to take advantage of the cloud-enabled workplace and how well do businesses understand the workforce implications of cloud adoption?
