About this talk

The 2026 Robert Oakeshott Lecture. Professor Michie will analyse the long-standing challenges facing the UK economy, including global pressures; how these challenges can be met in ways that transform those challenges into opportunities to open up a more socially and environmentally sustainable path ahead; and what role employee ownership might play in bringing about that transformation, for a more resilient economy, rewarding work, social cohesion, and individual wellbeing. The lecture will be preceded by tea and coffee from 5.30pm, and followed by an opportunity for questions and discussion. Established by the Employee Ownership Association in memory of Robert Oakeshott, the lecture brings together internationally recognised leaders from business, government and academia to explore the future of ownership, work and the economy. The 2026 lecture is generously sponsored by European law firm Fieldfisher.
