The discussion of the future work has been in the spotlight, mostly associated with catastrophic predictions of massified unemployment, caused by the arrival of the “robots” and Artificial Intelligence. We can see that these analyses don’t talk about the essential points neither identify the action points that can help the executives of the organizations to look to the theme in a constructive way.

The program Business Automation for the Future of Work was conceived in a partnership between CATÓLICA-LISBON and EDP, the company that assumed a technical leadership position in the subject at an international level, with the goal to fit the discussion of the future work in the actual moment and, precisely, through an automation concrete technology, the Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
