"What might the futures of practice be like?" is far from a
straightforward question. Emphasising "the" before the word future,
implies one future. But futures thinkers have identified a range of
futures that people think about. In this book we reflect on
possible, probable, and preferable futures in relation to practice
and work. Readers are invited to consider how their own engagement
in shaping possible futures will support ways of working that they
deem preferable, even those they can hardly imagine. Challenging
Future Practice Possibilities also examines influences that are
maintaining the status quo and others that are pushing
interest-driven change. Authors consider the major challenges that
practice and practitioners face today such as wicked problems,
fears for the future and complex demands and opportunities posed by
the digital revolution. A number of examples of future-oriented
work directions such as protean careers and artificial intelligence
enhancing or even replacing human workforces, are considered along
with concerns like the vulnerability of many work situations and
workers. In some cases workers and employers alike are unprepared
for these challenges, while others see adapting to these situations
as yet another pathway of practice futures evolution.
