CHAPTER 2
Foreword from Future Foundation
In the second chapter of Visions of Britain 2020, our focus shifts to the workforce of 2020 - in particular what types of worker will make up the working population and what the pressures on each of these groups will be in 2020.
To create this report we’ve combined a number of different methodologies with the aim of building the most accurate view of the future. We’ve surveyed 1,000 representative Britons and have examined their opinions in greater detail by using focus groups. We’ve interviewed several employment experts to gain their insight into the workforce of 2020, they are:
- Ian Brinkley, The Work Foundation
- Adrian Furnham, Professor of Psychology, University College London
- Mike Emmott, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
- Charles Cotton, Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development
We have combined these with expert opinions from our ‘Delphi Panel’ - a way of aggregating expert opinion to create a consensus on what the future will look like. The additional experts who contributed to this are:
- Bernard Brown, Partner, Head of Business, KPMG
- Guy Bailey, Senior Policy Advisor at the CBI
- David Amos, Senior Policy Advisor at the Cabinet Office
- Graham White, Director of Human Resources at Westminster City Council.
