Technology, and its rapid development and adoption, is one of the critical dynamics in the changing world of work. The transition to a low-emissions economy has begun and will accelerate, providing scope for New Zealand to increase its focus on technology and changing economic opportunities. While technological innovation and disruption is nothing new, the increasingly pervasive nature of disruptive technologies and the pace of change will create significant opportunities for New Zealand to achieve a productive, sustainable, and inclusive economy. However, systemic, rapid change can be daunting and it is important for government to understand and respond to this prospective change so that these opportunities are realised and the risks managed.
