90. Trend area More detail
From Hierachy to network
From closed to open organisatons; the borders of organisations become more blurry. More
people in the flexible workforce. Increasing importance of communities. Information travels
fast. Transparency key.
The invasion of smart tech
Big data. Data science. The internet of things. Robotisation. Self driving cars. Renewable
energy. Artificial intelligence (machine learning). Wearables. 3D printing. Smart offices.
Globalisation/ localisation
World more connected. Countertrend: consumers want local products. For some
professions (design, software) from local to global market. Urbanisation.
From X to Y to Z: more
generations in the workfoce
Different generations with different needs and expectations. Gen Y (millennials) will be a
substantial part of the wokforce. As people work longer more generations work together.
Diversity.
Making fun is serious business
Work and fun used to be separated. Today the expectaion is that work should be fun.
Gamification is entering work.
Purpose before pecunia
People are looking for organisations that do good in the world. Just Corporate Social
Responsibility is nog enough. Sustainability. Sharing economy. Diconnecting (information
overload).
Increasing speed: fast eats slow
Technology/ Internet enable new business models. Big organisations do not need many
people. New entrants can capture the market fast. Exponentiality.
From big bang change programs
to small experiments
Also fueled by technlogy. Experimenting has become easier. Learning by doing. Moving and
learning is better that standing still. A-B testing. Agility. Scrum. Traditional change
management too slow.
From intuitive HR to evidence/
fact based HR
HR/ people analytics. Big data entering HR. Not all new: scientific knowledge is often poorly
applied in organisations. HR can learn from marketing. HR: understand data + people.Version 2.0 | copyright HR Trend Institute
