We talk to Jeff Schwartz, a founding partner of Deloitte Consulting's Future of Work practice, about his new book, Work Disrupted: Opportunity, Resilience, and Growth in the Accelerated Future of Work.

Thanks to the COVID pandemic, the future of work - always a fruitful topic for conversation - seems to have arrived sooner than expected, bringing with it wholesale changes in the way many of us spend our days. And at the same time, the pandemic has also brought with it an urgent need for new mindsets, new strategies and new ways to move forward.

We discuss the main themes of the book, exploring key issues such as the impact of AI, changing work arrangements, career development and team leadership, all set within the context of the impact that the pandemic has and will have on our working lives.
