Bruce has spent over a decade writing, podcasting and presenting about culture. His previous business career saw him voted as the best leader in his field and recognised as having created transformational cultures.

Keynote: Work Made Me a NPC (and No One Told Me)

Bruce spoke at a conference about how work is changing. The talk opened with the scenario, ‘my work turned me into a NPC (and no one told me)’. An NPC is a gaming term for the inert non-player characters who wander past you in video games

A tracking study running since 1992 has found that the amount of workers who believe they have agency over the way they do their jobs has almost halved. Many of us really do feel like we’re non-player characters at work.

Bruce was asked to speak at the media agency PHD, on the brief ‘should we be optimistic about the future of work?’
