Future of Digital Identity Report Launch
How we prove that we are who or what we say we are during digital transactions and interactions is set to become one of the defining features of the next stage of the human digital transformation. Today, we are living with early attempts to solve the problem that are no longer fit for purpose. At best, the multitude of different ways we login, confirm our identities, and establish trust in claims made during digital exchanges, has become profoundly inconvenient. At worst, they have left us in a connected world which is neither safe nor secure, and in which we seem…

Insights on Suicide Prevention
Every 36 hours someone in the UK ends their life on the railway. Despite successes stemming from the industry suicide prevention team based at Network Rail, there is a growing fear that current thinking and prevention methods can only go so far. In 2018, Network Rail asked Dr. Robin Pharoah at Future Agenda to look at railway suicide and prevention using a novel, anthropological approach. The study centred on suicide ‘hotspot’ locations, and sought to identify connections between communities and the railway suicides that take place within them. The result was a first-of-its-kind exploration of both the cultural contexts of rail…

Future of Education
The broadening world of education is undergoing several major shifts. Driven in part by technology innovation and new business models, the learning process is being reinvented and there is a transformation of education economics and outcomes.
