Take on Tomorrow

• How we fuel and power

  The way we power society is transforming, and it’s not happening in a silo. As energy demand and geopolitical tensions both rise, and the shift toward new ways to fuel and power our lives picks up speed, how should businesses rethink the opportunities and challenges ahead? Where can they find new value? And what could the world look like with more collaboration and innovative solutions that have never been tried before? In this episode of our special Take on Tomorrow series, hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Thomas Raffeiner, CEO and founder of The Mobility House, a technology company using a new solution to power cars—and the grid itself—that may completely change how we move. Plus, Jeroen van Hoof, PwC’s Global Energy, Utilities & Resources Leader, from PwC Netherlands, tells us about the paths that businesses and society can open when they think about new ways of working—and moving—together.

• Introducing a special series of Take on Tomorrow

  This special series of Take on Tomorrow, PwC’s award-winning podcast, unpacks how the global economy will change over the decade ahead and what that means for business and society. We’ll explore how business will navigate—and shape—the challenges and opportunities ahead, including emerging technology, climate impacts, and new ways of collaborating across industries. Though basic human needs will stay the same, the way they’re met—by business, government, and others—will rapidly evolve. We look at distinct domains, each centered around a fundamental and universal human need: how we move, how we make and build things, how we feed and care for ourselves, and how we fuel and power society, as well as the way governments, capital, and technology will enable this industry reconfiguration. Along the way, we’ll meet the innovators driving the efforts to tackle society’s greatest challenges and learn how businesses can capture the value that’s in motion and the exponential possibilities that come with it.

• Take on Tomorrow @ The World Economic Forum in Davos: What does it take to thrive in an uncertain world?

  There are strong forces at play right now—deep and profound trends such as technological disruption and social instability, that are changing our lives and the world around us. Business leaders can’t ignore these megatrends. But what actions are they taking? How can they plan amid a constantly shifting landscape? We’ve gathered insights from thousands of CEOs around the world to try to learn what they’re thinking about the big issues—from GenAI to climate change to the need for reinvention—and what it all could mean for the global economy. And we’ve mined the results to see what they can reveal about the future—what it will take for companies to prosper, and how to avoid being left behind.In this episode of Take on Tomorrow, recorded live in Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, PwC’s Sarah von Fischer is joined by Carol Stubbings, PwC’s Global Chief Commercial Officer, and Paul Griggs, PwC US Senior Partner.

• Take on Tomorrow @ the World Economic Forum in Davos: What does responsible AI look like in the age of agentic AI?

  AI is being embedded in everything we do, from the way our cities operate to how we live and work. Information, decision-making, and problem-solving are all being transformed. Enter the “AI agent,” here to help people work smarter and more productively. But will people trust this rapidly evolving technology? And what happens if that trust erodes? Business and society are working to navigate the myriad challenges AI presents—and to answer a big question: how can we work to build responsible AI in the age of agentic AI? In this episode, recorded live at the WEF Annual Meeting in Davos, PwC’s Sarah von Fisher is joined by PwC’s Matt Wood, Global and US Commercial Technology & Innovation Officer. They discuss what the age of agentic AI looks like and what leaders can do to make sure the technology is deployed ethically, and with accountability and transparency—as AI becomes more engrained in our everyday lives.

• How can we reimagine workplace productivity with GenAI?

  More than two years have passed since generative AI went mainstream. Now the pressure is on for the technology to deliver concrete results. So has it lived up to all the hype? And, in particular, has GenAI met its early promise to boost workplace productivity and help employees engage in more high-impact work? Hosts Lizzie O’Leary and Femi Oke talk with Svenja Gudell, Chief Economist at the jobs site Indeed, about the state of the labor market in this new GenAI world and the workforce shifts that are already underway. PwC’s Global Workforce Leader, Pete Brown, brings fresh insights from a new report issued by the World Economic Forum, in collaboration with PwC, that looks at how businesses can roll out GenAI for job augmentation and to help worker productivity. In an economic environment currently characterized by low productivity growth, are we seeing signs that GenAI can make a difference?
