In workplaces, workers must have a seat at the table in the recurring governance of algorithmic systems. All else would be a managerial failure.

- Dr Christina J. Colclough

Current Projects

Our Digital Future

Our Digital Future is a 3-year project with Public Services International aimed at capacity building unions in all regions of the world on digitalisation of work and workers and co-designing union responses. All training material is public subject to creative commons license.

#UnionTech

Find the material & recordings from this 4-part series of workshops on #UnionTech here - courtesy of participants, presenters and FES. These workshops united participants to build their capacity to critically use & challenge digital technologies.

Digital Training USA

Pretty honoured to be working with a top-notch university in the US to create a series of workshops on digitalisation and the impacts on work and workers.

The first round of workshops is tailor-made union leaders.

Co-governing A.I

Through thematic advice and training we are supporting a group of unions in a European country on the co-governance of algorithmic systems in workplaces.

Their aim is to scale to the entire labour market.

Define & Train

We are in the process of co-creating and finalising a training and empowerment project for a multilateral organisation.

This project will define policies and conduct the necessary training for constituents across the world.

Wheels within wheels

Tech for Good requires collective action. We are working with tech activists on a funky idea to collectivise the risks and benefits of responsible tech to boost campaigns, organising and worker power.

Why work with us?

We are a boutique consultancy that believes in the abundance of opportunity as long as it is shared. In the digital world of work, technology must be governed collectively. We need to embrace dialogue to ensure that workplaces are inclusive, diverse and empowering for all. We need a future of Rewarding Work.
