Introducing FourOne Insights: People-Centered Insights for the Future of Work
As emerging fields like AI, cybersecurity, and quantum computing are poised to reshape our economy, the workforce is at a turning point. Meeting the moment requires more than just fuzzy predictions and isolated anecdotes – it demands precise data, human-centered insights, and cross-sector collaboration.
That’s why we are excited to launch FourOne Insights, a research and advisory firm built to help employers, educators, policymakers, and communities navigate the future of work – together.
At FourOne Insights, we deliver data-driven, people-centered solutions that help workforce systems evolve alongside technological change. Whether you’re an employer building your talent pipeline, a training provider modernizing your curriculum, a nonprofit organization investing in workforce development initiatives, or a public agency designing policy, our goal is to provide clear insights and actionable strategies to help you to stay ahead.
The Talent Ecosystem Suffers from an Information Gap
Emerging technologies and trends hold the promise to reinvent work for millions of people, but most employers, educators, and individuals are uncertain how to prepare. Compounding this uncertainty is a lack of clear insight and useful data. Emerging workforce needs are, by definition, not aligned with traditional training infrastructure, while most workforce data come with a lag and don’t capture new jobs or skills until years after they emerge.
This creates an information vacuum which is typically only filled with commentary from agenda-driven vendors looking to capitalize on emerging fields. This lack of reliable insight means we can’t prepare for a future of work we don’t truly understand.
Our Vision for Closing the Information Gap
Our goal is to provide timely, actionable insights that demystify the impact of emerging trends and technologies on the workforce. We provide artisanal support – not assembly line automation – and base our insights on best-of-breed datasets that enable us to develop up-to-date, hyper-granular definitions of emerging fields.
We also build deep partnerships with organizations across the workforce ecosystem – including employers, educators, public agencies, associations, nonprofits, and vendors - to address the multi-stakeholder talent challenges presented by emerging technologies. That allows us to design system-level solutions, not siloed fixes, for the complex issues facing today’s labor market.
This underscores why the name FourOne Insights is more than a brand – it’s a philosophy. Inspired by the motto “all for one, one for all,” we take a multi-stakeholder, collaborative approach to workforce innovation, and never lose sight of the humans behind the data. When we align systems around a shared vision, we not only solve emerging workforce challenges – we create stronger livelihoods for individuals, families, and communities.
We’re excited to begin this journey with you. If you’re ready to build a more resilient, innovative, and future-ready workforce, let’s talk.
