Wildcards and weak signals are different terms for indicators of change or an emerging issue that may become significant in the future. In their FutureWork project\, scenarios are being developed which outline visions for the future of work by the end of this century. In these scenarios\, wildcards and weak signals play a vital role\, based on the assumption that the future develops not in a linear way but is hampered by (e.g. economic) crises and\, as we can see\, by the Covid-19 pandemic. Claudio and Oliver will present the results of an empirical survey of experts during a digital conference in spring 2020\, where wildcards and weak signals had been ascertained. In addition\, the presentation will shed light on an investigation of prior future studies and their statements about the future\, exploring the highly relevant question\, “where and why did we went wrong in predicting the future\, and which wildcards and weak signals had been underestimated?”\n\n					\n				\n					\n						\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Stavroula DemetriadesEurofound \n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box{ color: #ffffff;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .panel-title a .fa-fusion-box:before{ font-size: 13px; width: 13px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .panel-title a{font-size:14px;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #333333;border-color: #333333;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .panel-title a:hover\, #accordion-5890-10 .fusion-toggle-boxed-mode:hover .panel-title a { color: #4ea6cd;}.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .panel-title .active .fa-fusion-box\,.fusion-accordian  #accordion-5890-10 .panel-title a:hover .fa-fusion-box { background-color: #4ea6cd!important;border-color: #4ea6cd!important;}More about this session and speaker\nStavroula has responsibility for research in the areas of innovation\, workplace practices and job creation at Eurofound\, and has a long-term interest in the field of workplace innovation.

PIA-technology is an Attended or Robotic Desktop Automation (RPA) that provides client advisors with interactive support during customer calls. The aim of the study was to estimate changes in performance as well as several aspects of quality of working life and job satisfaction that result from the use of the technology. A randomised control trial identified the causal effects of PIA. Marie-Christine will present empirical results from this field experiment.  \n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						\n\n\nSign up below\nThis virtual conference is free to attend. \n\n\n\n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						\n\n  hbspt.forms.create({\n	portalId: "4684627"\,\n	formId: "e0606fbf-b315-4bc2-9e46-05f689183425"\n});\n\n\n					\n				\n
