Why it matters
Addressing the global wealth gap is one of the greatest challenges of our time. With the devastating impact of the pandemic amplifying inequalities even further, the need to find ways to ensure the workplace of tomorrow is inclusive and equitable for all, is even more critical. Unreasonable FUTURE brings together a hand-selected portfolio of entrepreneurs leveraging innovative and advanced technologies to ensure future generations are equipped to thrive in the new economy. Unreasonable Group is honored to collaborate with Fossil Foundation, Pearson, and Accenture to help co-design a future that will benefit everyone.
Pearson is the world’s leading learning company and believes that in an ever-changing and increasingly connected world, education and lifelong learning are the keys to success. For many people, learning is the route to a job to support their family or to provide the skills needed to help them make progress in their career. Simply put, for every learner, at every stage of their life, education is the path to opportunity and fulfillment. Pearson, as a Founding Partner of Unreasonable FUTURE, wants to equip millions of learners worldwide with the skills, knowledge, and insights needed to prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
There are more young people alive today than ever before in human history. Ninety percent of them live in marginalized communities or less developed countries. Many face significant barriers to fulfilling their potential and adapting to the pace of change. How do we ensure that all young people have an opportunity to unleash their power and purpose? Fossil Foundation partners with some of the world’s most innovative changemakers to create better opportunities for underserved youth. Let’s design a future that benefits all of us. Let’s reimagine the very nature of learning and work. Let’s unleash the power of youth.
At Accenture, we are dedicated to positively impacting our people, our clients, and our communities by creating “new skilling” pathways for an inclusive future of work — a future in which all workers have the motivation, means, and opportunity to thrive in the digital economy. The Dock (Accenture’s Global Centre for Innovation) is tirelessly exploring this topic, whilst seeking to pioneer new ways to fulfill human needs using emerging technologies. Unreasonable FUTURE offers an incredible opportunity to join forces with like-minded organizations and turn our ambitions for an inclusive future into reality.
