5. How do we achieve an agile knowledge workforce fit for the future?
To discuss in your groups
What will our workforce of the future consist of, and what environments will we work in?
What will our key skills be?
How will these skills be utilised, developed and honed to ensure that evidence can be mobilised and knowledge shared, and new and emerging technologies utilised?
Crucially, what will we need to do in order to achieve this?
