By 2025 the number of people requiring access to support and the strategies for responding to these needs are likely to change significantly. In 2012 IRISS embarked on a long term project with two aims:
to anticipate and detail the major changes and challenges in the context and environment within which the workforce will be operating and support will be negotiated
to explore a range of initiatives and potential developments which may facilitate responses to this future environment.
The outcome of the first phase of this work is three reports covering the workforce, citizenship and enabling technology. Together these reports offer a comprehensive survey of current trends as well as speculation about the future.
To make the content of the reports more digestible, stimulate discussion and encourage engagement in the processes that will shape the future, we have created Alex Chisholm.
