We're pleased to share the launch of the Future of Work Alliance between The University of Manchester and BNY, enabled by Unit M and delivered through Alliance Manchester Business School. This new alliance brings together research challenges, executive education, internships and real-world collaboration to help organisations respond to how work is changing, particularly as the responsible use of AI becomes part of everyday practice. The initiative will focus on designing, testing and scaling new models that put people, skills and work at the centre of innovation. It is a brilliant example of how universities - with business schools - can work together with industry to turn research and insight into practical impact for leaders, students and organisations.

Today we’re launching the Future of Work Alliance with BNY. The Alliance will design, test and scale new models for the responsible application of AI in complex organisations by combining our world leading research with real world operational challenges. The five-year, £5 million initiative is centred around developing the skills, leadership and trust needed to prepare the workforce for the AI era by placing people at the heart of innovation. Rooted in Manchester, the Alliance will strengthen our region’s role as a centre for responsible AI innovation shaped around people, skills and work, while establishing a model with global relevance. Find out how we are supporting students, leaders and organisations as AI becomes increasingly embedded in day to day work: https://lnkd.in/ezmZkfDp The initiative is enabled by our innovation arm, Unit M, and will be delivered through our globally recognised Alliance Manchester Business School.
