We are delighted to welcome LSE professor and author Raj Choudhury to Dublin. He will address MBAAI members in the RDS Members Club on Thursday, 13 November 2025 at 6.30pm, on “The World Is Your Office: How Work from Anywhere Boosts Talent, Productivity, and Innovation”, which is the subject of his latest book.
The last few years have been a global experiment in work arrangements, revealing that many more jobs can be done remotely – and in a distributed fashion – than previously assumed. But companies that have adopted a hybrid arrangement, where workers are required to be in the office several days a week, are missing out on the biggest advantage that remote work can offer: the ability to Work From Anywhere (WFA), argues Harvard Business School professor Prithwiraj “Raj” Choudhury.
Prithwiraj (Raj) Choudhury is the Lumry Family Associate Professor at the Harvard Business School. His research is focused on studying the Future of Work, especially the changing Geography of Work. In particular, he studies the productivity effects of geographic mobility of workers, causes of geographic immobility and productivity effects of remote work practices such as ‘Work from anywhere’ and ‘All-remote’. He is an Associate Editor at Management Science and was included in the 2023 Forbes Future of Work-50 list.

Event Details
This year, over mince pies and wine, our members and guests will have the pleasure of hearing RTE’s Adam Maguire speak about his new book The Bailout Babies on Wednesday, 3rd December at 6.30pm in the RDS Members Club.
The Bailout Babies dives into the lives of a generation caught between Ireland’s crash and comeback. Born in the boom, they grew up in an era of good jobs, easy debt and leisurely brunches. But before they were old enough to benefit – the crash hit, the bailout came, and with it a decade of austerity. Now in their late 20s and 30s, The Bailout Babies are stuck in economic limbo: back in childhood bedrooms or paying extortionate rent, working gigs instead of careers, swiping for love and managing anxiety. But this is not a story of failure – it’s a story of reinvention, of how a generation is finding ways to earn, spend and live. This generation is rewriting what adulthood looks like in post-boom Ireland. The Bailout Babies is a sharp, empathetic look at the most populous age group in Ireland – and what it means to grow up when growing up no longer means what it used to.
For our members, the book provides insights into the attitudes of this generation as employees. The frustrations around the breakdown of the old contract about getting a good degree and working hard to get on the property ladder. The different mindset about longevity of employment and mobility, the desire to travel to far flung places and move jobs frequently, rather than climb the corporate ladder in one place. What are the implication for employers in managing this generation?
Adam Maguire will be familiar to members as a journalist on RTE News, focussing on business, tech, media & current affairs. This is his first book.

Event Details
We are delighted to welcome authors Joe O’Connor and Jared Lindzon to the RDS Members Club on Thursday, 19 February 2026 at 6.30pm to delivered an impassioned, data-driven case for a four-day working week, drawing on their new book Do More in Four: Why It’s Time for a Shorter Workweek which is published by Harvard Business Review.
The five-day workweek is a pillar of modern life, but it isn’t backed by science, ancient wisdom, or divine decree. It’s simply a relic of the industrial age—and it’s time for an upgrade. What if we could accomplish more while working fewer days? A shortened workweek once seemed like a radical idea. Today, it’s embraced by innovative business leaders, forward-thinking politicians, and a new generation of workers demanding more meaningful work.
In Do More in Four, Toronto-based Roscommon native Joe O’Connor, a pioneer in designing and leading four-day-workweek pilots around the globe, and journalist Jared Lindzon, whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Fortune, and TIME magazine, present a groundbreaking, data-driven exploration of why a four-day workweek isn’t merely possible—it’s necessary in the age of artificial intelligence.
O’Connor and Lindzon draw on extensive research, compelling case studies, and personal interviews with experts—including a Nobel Prize–winning economist and Bill Gates—to reveal how organizations are reimagining work. From a consumer products giant in New Zealand to a global nonprofit, a Canadian law firm, and a Midwestern architecture firm, they take readers inside the companies transforming their work models to improve employee outcomes while driving revenue growth.
