Better Futures

The action we take today will determine the kind of world the next generation will inherit. 

A Manifesto For Change...

We believe the future cannot be left to chance. The actions we take today will determine the kind of world the next generation will inherit. That's why we're committed to creating better futures, today.

Click here to read our manifesto

On February 12 we welcomed over 200 delegates, from across the financial services industry, to discover and debate the key issues affecting our futures. Bringing together over 30 experts from a range of disciplines, we debated everything from AI and the ethics of technological developments, to climate change and how much (or little) investment is being made to secure the planet’s future.

Exploring what our children’s future could look like, we considered some of the amazing developments we might see, but also the potential challenges they represent.

One consistent theme came across loud and clear - the time for action is now.

We want to help drive positive change and deliver better futures for all. That's why we've created our 'Manifesto for Change'.

We've also created a dedicated group to keep the conversation going. You can request to join below.

What actions can we take now to make a difference for future generations?

The Chair of our Better Futures conference, Calum Cooper, gives a round-up of the key themes from the seminar. We took a look at the big multi-generational themes affecting society and what actions we could take today to make a difference for future generations.

Asking Great Questions

Recently we held our Better Futures 2019 conference in London. We brought together over 30 speakers from a broad range of disciplines to prompt us to think about the multi-generational themes affecting society and what actions we can take to help future generations. Our Chair, Calum Cooper, has written a blog reflecting on the event.

In another recent blog post Calum wrote that we live in the world our questions create. So, if we want a better future, we have to ask great questions. And more importantly we must start to answer them and act. See below to read some of the questions we've been asking:

  • Is our tech listening to us?
  • Is it time for investors to wake up to climate change?
  • The future of insurance - can we have too much data?
  • How can we ensure we use AI ethically?
  • How do we ensure a better future for adult social care?
  • How can gamification encourage people to engage with their finances?

We'll be continuing to build on and explore the themes we discussed at the event. We've a dedicated group on LinkedIn which will continue to focus on the issues that affect our society and on the actions we should be taking to help future generations. Please do get involved. You can join the conversation here.

Be sure to follow us on LinkedIn or Twitter too. 

Agenda

We brought together speakers from a range of disciplines to discuss:

  • Technology developments, the ethics and applications in financial services 
  • The impact on wealth distribution and wealth creation 
  • What the future looks like for the workplace 
  • How to create a sustainable future for our planet. Can future generations succeed where we have failed?  
  • And what role do institutional investors have to play?

What do the next generation expect from the future?

We asked some children what they think the world will be like when they grow up. Our experts have some surprising insights into how life might change in the years to come.
