2. Intro
For many organizations, the traditional business structure is obsolete.
By traditional business structure, we mean vertically integrated companies that
hire full-time employees to work nine-hour shifts on company property.
Technological advances that seemed out of reach only a decade ago are now
ushering in an era of transformation and disruption.
This large-scale tendency for quick-pivoting change has implications for the
everyday consumer, and for the workforce responsible for meeting his or her
needs. Consumers desire fast, flexible solutions to problems that are scalable,
adaptive, and intelligent.
3. Putting Digitization in its Place - the Historical
Perspective
To better understand what to expect from digitalization in the workplace and in
consumers’ lives, Accenture looks at the history of work itself. Throughout most
of history, work was done in an ad hoc manner. The Industrial Revolution made
processes repeatable, and parts interchangeable. The Information Age made
adaptive processes possible, and now, the increasing complexity of these
processes makes intelligent processes necessary.
4. What does the future of Work look like?
The digitalization transformation will empower everyday people to use resources
previously limited to the largest and most powerful organizations on the planet.
The sharing economy is just one aspect of this newfound ability to leverage work
in a scalable, adaptive, and intelligent way.
Now, more than ever, business leaders will have to look through their processes
and determine ways to use technology to increase efficiency and encourage
communication. Doing this requires re-thinking things that would have been taken
for granted a decade ago – such as 40-hour workweeks and on-site offices.

solutions to consumer needs.
