Future of Work Study 2024: AI, Flexible workforces and the Future of Leadership

We are proud to share the latest study of our valued member, Free Trade Europa – an independent think tank promoting the social, economic and political benefits of openness, liberalisation and free trade for governments, companies and citizens, co-authored by a number of partners like Distributed, Human Cloud, Ework Group and ACCACE.

The “Future of Work Study 2024: AI, Flexible Workforces, and the Future of Leadership” explores the evolving landscape of work, examining how digital transformation—driven by AI and flexible workforces—is reshaping organisational structures and leadership. The study also delves into the regulatory frameworks guiding these changes and their broader implications for the future of leadership.

The study delves into the benefits of remote and flexible work, showing how it not only boosts efficiency and cuts costs for SMEs and one-person companies (OPCs) but also opens up new opportunities for growth. By leveraging technology and AI,  small businesses can achieve more with fewer resources, breaking down traditional barriers to entry. It also takes a closer look at the evolving dynamics between large and small organizations, revealing how the future of work is shifting towards a more interconnected ecosystem—one where agile, specialized companies with unique skills can play a pivotal role.
