Paul Redmond
Future of Work Strategist, Authority on Employability, Technology & Human Advantage
Paul Redmond is best known for explaining what technological change actually means for people, not in theory, but in careers, confidence, and capability.
A leading authority on employability and the future of work, Paul focuses on how automation, AI, and digital transformation are reshaping labour markets faster than institutions can adapt. His work examines the widening gap between academic achievement and workplace readiness, and why technological change is amplifying that gap rather than closing it.
What distinguishes Paul is realism without alarmism. He challenges simplistic narratives about “jobs of the future” and instead explores how skills, behaviours, and mindset determine who benefits from technological progress and who is left exposed. His insight reframes employability as a strategic issue: one that affects productivity, inclusion, resilience, and long-term competitiveness.
For business and education leaders alike, Paul brings clarity to a pressing question: how do we prepare people for work that is changing faster than qualifications, job titles, or training frameworks?
