Last week Buxton's Social Value Manager, Jamie Clancy-Toomey, spent an insightful and thought-provoking day at Google offices in Kings Cross for Working Options event, The Future of Work: The AI Opportunity.
The day brought together young people and employers to explore the huge potential of AI—its power to create new opportunities, redefine roles, and yes, even displace traditional jobs. The conversations left plenty to reflect on, especially around the evolving role of AI in the construction industry and how it intersects with social value.
A huge thank you to the inspiring panellists and keynote speakers, and to everyone who made the networking sessions so valuable.
One standout moment was hearing from Timo on business and entrepreneurship—his words really stuck:
⭐️Youth is a superpower - use it to your advantage when tackling the world of work
⭐️Figure it out – figure-out ability matters
⭐️ When things go wrong - It’s not that deep
Excited to keep these ideas in mind as we shape the future of work in our sector.
