Thanks for joining us!

Allow me to introduce the team.

My name is Devin Connolly, and people call me the numbers guy. My focus is on financials and feasibility, and figuring out whether the world of wonderful plans out there is founded in fact or foolishness.

I’m joined by Ross Finnegan, our in-house thought guru, who specialises in all things strategic, personal and ethical. Unlike myself, Ross knows people, and people know him. He can spot a phony like a deer in lights, and does not hesitate to lay down the law when he feels ethical or moral misconduct is unfolding.

Next, we are joined by our very own International, Conor Wallace, hailing all the way from Hollywood! Unfortunately, it’s the Northern Irish Hollywood, and not the nice one. Conor is a recognised tech genius, and is rumoured to be in the process of being headhunted for MI5. Like Devin with numbers, and Ross with subjectivity, Conor understands machines.

Finally, say hello to our strategic mastermind, the man behind the crystal ball, Séamus Keher. Séamus has fine-tuned the art of speculation over the years,  and he specialises in the future of work. Séamus has been knocking it out of the park with his predictive prowess since day dot and will be gleefully providing his visions for the future.

Together, we will take on the task of visualising the world of work in the future. We haven’t chosen this topic out of fear, or concern, but rather out of pulsing curiosity. It is an exciting time for the world of work, and hope to explore in detail whether that be for better or worse. Work, by definition, means “activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a result”. (1) That said, there are many aspects of work that require attention: the individual, the collective company, and the industry in its entirety. ‘Work’ is a broad subject, and so will we attempt to divide conquer as best we can. We will jump from industry to industry and examine the past, present and the oh so wonderful future within each one. Every piece of analysis  will be accompanied by a company case study or highlight, where we outline a particular company that is leading the way with innovation or has done something particularly noteworthy. Our team is passionate about the future of work, so comments will be dotted here and there as we progress.

The diversity within the team will allow us to comment on all the vehicles that implement change, whether they be personal, financial, technological, or purely strategic. In reality, a change in one of those areas will require a change in another, and those are the kind of links we hope to explore. Simply put, work has changed, and has continuing to do so.  We glad you are with to follow us along the journey to understand the ethics, the economics, and the exciting innovations of the Novus Opus; the new work

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walto
