The Future Forum is partnering with Fortune to explore major changes in the way people and companies work. Today’s announcement kicks off a series of content and events dedicated to giving executives the context, data, and blueprints required to reimagine the way their organization works.

“We’re in the middle of a revolution in the world of work,” said Alan Murray, CEO of Fortune. “We are partnering with the Future Forum to help educate people about the major trends that will impact their working lives. This partnership will help us arm people with the information they need to get ahead of the change and create a new formula for success.”
