Paper delivered at Home Renaissance Foundation IV International Conference: "A Home: a place of growth, care and well-being", Royal Society of Medicine, London, 16-17 November 2017
This presentation was delivered in January 2010 to the Hartford Area Business Economists (HABE) in Hartford, CT. It focuses on the changing nature of work and implications for regional economic development.
This document discusses trends toward decentralization, flexible work arrangements, and the growing gig economy. It provides statistics on the rise of freelancing and independent work. Coworking spaces are presented as enablers of connectivity, collaboration, and innovation that allow organizations to access skills and opportunities beyond their traditional boundaries. Data from the Seats2meet coworking platform demonstrates increasing social and economic value generated through serendipitous connections and opportunities among coworking members over time.
Ronald van den Hoff is an author, publisher, trendwatcher, entrepreneur, coach, investor, and chairman who discusses the rise of a "chaordic" or technologically and socially transforming society from 1995 to 2025. Key transformations include the internet providing access to information, the social web enabling connectivity, and collaborative economies creating new social and economic value through platforms. Advancements may lead to an autonomous world where artificial and human intelligence are connected through a "global brain" and "metaverse-mesh," and intelligent robots perform jobs cheaper and more reliably than humans.
This document discusses strategies for revitalizing small towns by focusing on future trends in work. It outlines demographic, technological, financial, environmental, and political trends that will shape the future, such as an aging population, the growth of remote work, exponential technological changes, and climate change. It also discusses how talent and skills will increasingly drive location decisions. The document advocates that towns adopt "future smart" strategies to anticipate coming changes and attract talent, such as creating high-skill jobs and reinventing education, in order to thrive in the future.
There have been three major eras of globalization according to the document. Globalization 1.0 from 1492-1800 was driven by countries exploring and expanding trade opportunities. Globalization 2.0 from 1800-2000 saw multinational companies become the main agents of global integration through seeking new markets and labor. Globalization 3.0 beginning around 2000 has been defined by new communication technologies that empower individuals and small groups to connect globally through the "flat world platform". This latest era of globalization is leveling the playing field and allowing more diverse, non-Western participants to connect on a global scale.
The document summarizes a presentation given at an economic development awards luncheon in Rockland County, New York. It discusses trends shaping the future of work, including work moving to virtual environments while people stay put physically, 80% of today's jobs no longer existing by 2025, and the changing nature of work as manufacturing shifts to services. Seven disruptive technologies and changing demographics are driving disruption and the future of work. The presentation also covered skills required for future jobs and choosing a preferred future.

TEDxLausanne: Empowering tomorrow's leaders to re-invent the labor marketPeter Vogel
Peter explores the future of the labor market and the role of entrepreneurial ecosystems. The technological revolution not only changed the way we work and live, but who we are. The "Next Generations" are facing the highest youth unemployment rates and at the same time employers have entered a fierce competition for talents. This huge challenge can only be solved by the next generation itself, in re-defining the labor market of the future. Establishing assessable and healthy entrepreneurial ecosystems has to become priority #1 of policymakers and practitioners if we want to ensure that the terminology "Lost Generation" will always remain a piece of history.
This document discusses the rise of entrepreneurship and home-based businesses over large corporations. It argues that technological advances have reduced transaction costs, making it more efficient for individuals to work independently. Home-based entrepreneurs now have access to the best technology and can be more innovative than large corporations. Recent tax law changes also provide benefits like retirement savings and health insurance to self-employed individuals, leveling the playing field compared to traditional employees. The author concludes that the greatest opportunities today lie in entrepreneurship rather than working for large corporations that are increasingly being dismantled.
We, the Users: the New Politics of the Internetengage
The document discusses the potential for a new politics driven by the internet as current political institutions are failing and confidence in government is low. It notes that while Washington is stalled, the internet and innovation are advancing rapidly, disrupting multiple industries and creating jobs. It poses the question of whether this could lead to a new political movement and way of governing problems that leverage the internet, similar to how the Industrial Revolution transformed politics.
The document discusses the current economic challenges facing the world including the sub-prime crisis and falling exports in China. It outlines Obama's economic plans to invest in infrastructure, energy efficiency, and technology to create jobs. The unemployment rate in Singapore is expected to rise, especially in manufacturing, as the government tries to diversify the economy into services. The document also provides quotes on persevering during difficult times.
The Digital Maker Movement is driven by millions of engineers, hobbyists, entrepreneurs and innovators, who are combining the advantages of modern day technology and convenience while simultaneously restoring a culture of innovation and craftsmanship that defined America’s Industrial Revolution. It is not only shaping the future, but changing the way children are taught, companies are hiring and people are building. Businesses around the nation are getting involved in maker programs and the way they are training their employees. The makers of the world are popping up everywhere.

Entrpreneurship- Transforming the global economyManish Jena
Entrepreneurs are transforming the global economy in three key ways: 1) They enhance competition and dynamism by continuously changing the shape of the world economy; 2) They help assimilate new technologies that fuel economic growth, as evidenced by the rise of companies like Microsoft and Google; 3) Entrepreneurship provides opportunities that support freedom and job creation around the world.
It's Not About Technology (pdf with Notes)Tim O'Reilly
My talk at Velocity 2015 Optimized Business Day. I talk about the imperative to use technology to empower workers, not replace them. This isn't just for highly paid knowledge workers. Finding ways to put everyone to work productively is one of the great challenges of the 21st century. Bonus: a great segment from Steven Vincent Benet's poem John Brown's Body.

The home based business can be defined as a business whose primary office is in the owner's home. The business can be any size or any type, as long as the office itself is located in a home. This expected growth in GDP due to internet related business activities creates many online business opportunities for the online home based business owner.

Startupfest 2019 - Building a Disruptive Startup EcosystemStartupfest
This document discusses building disruptive startup ecosystems and outlines key metrics for Montreal's ecosystem. It notes that 5 of the top 10 largest companies globally are from tech startup ecosystems, demonstrating their economic impact. However, Montreal captures only 0.17% of global exit value and its startup ecosystem suffers from a seed funding gap, lack of global connections for founders, and low foreign customer sales compared to other cities. The document argues that significantly more investment is needed to support Montreal's "keystone team" and fix issues like angel funding and global reach in order to build a strong, job-creating startup engine for the future.

Rewriting the Rules of Management for the Facebook GenerationVladimir Vulic
Slides for my keynote "Rewriting the Rules of Management for the Facebook Generation" at the Proactive conference in Kozara, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Vladimir Vulic (October 2014)
The twenty first century is vastly different from the twentieth. It demands a radically new set of skills and competencies. Lifelong learning takes on new meaning. Ignore it at your peril.
The document discusses how new technologies are changing the nature of work and organizations. It notes that transaction costs between firms are decreasing due to technologies like the internet, which allows coordination to be done without traditional managers. This means that core firms will be small and agile, relying more on networks. The mainstream firm is becoming a more expensive alternative. Peer production and the on-demand economy are replacing traditional organizations as the most efficient means to create and exchange value. Workers are increasingly managed by algorithms, so it is important to consider what kind of algorithms will rule. There are also implications for worker classification, benefits, scheduling, and wages in this new environment.
The document discusses the DotCom bubble that occurred in the late 1990s. Many internet startups called "DotComs" were established during this time as investment in internet companies grew rapidly. However, stock prices increased unsustainably and the bubble eventually burst in 2001, leading many investors to lose money. The recession negatively impacted the US and Japanese economies, though some internet companies like Google and Amazon survived.
Community Development in the New Era of Distributed Creative ProductionL Torres
An introduction to the rise of the independent workforce and the ways coworking and makerspaces support this economic shift. Closes with a few thoughts on how community development goals can be advanced by embracing this shift.
It used to be the case that staff worked the way they were told to by their employers. It was therefore the objectives of the organisation – efficiency, in most cases – that defined the working style of the majority.
Now, though, the way we work is subject to all manner of influences. Organisations that wish to design engaging and productive working environments for their employees must understand those forces, and react accordingly.
The document discusses the changing skills landscape and opportunities for social enterprises. It notes that skills, the generation Y population, technology, and welfare reform are changing the economy. It argues that by helping people transform dreams into meaningful work, entire communities' economic fortunes could be improved. It highlights opportunities for social enterprises to help identify and match skills to opportunities through talent management programs.

The document discusses the changing nature of work. It notes that jobs that existed 10 or 20 years ago may not exist now due to technological changes. The future of work is described as transparent, with productivity directly measurable; flat, allowing people to work remotely from anywhere in the world; competitive, with education available online and work outsourced globally; and on demand, with independent contractors coming together temporarily for projects. The future workplace will rely more on virtual teams and be less tied to permanent careers or locations.
The future of work is uncertain but will likely involve more transparency, flat and virtual structures, competitiveness, and on-demand work. Jobs and industries will continue to change rapidly as new technologies emerge. Success will depend on individuals distinguishing themselves through skills, innovation, and the ability to work virtually across borders in competitive global marketplaces. The future workplace may involve less traditional careers and more independent contracting and virtual team-based project work.

The future of work is uncertain but will likely involve more transparency, flat and virtual structures, competitiveness, and on-demand work. Jobs and industries will continue to change rapidly as new technologies emerge. Success will depend on continually gaining skills, competing globally, and working virtually in flexible and competitive environments. Individuals will have more freedom and power than ever to determine their own earning potential based on their unique talents and abilities.

The future of work will be transparent, flat, competitive, and on demand. Jobs will no longer be tied to a single lifelong career or location. Employees' productivity will be directly measurable, and competition for jobs will come from around the world. Success will depend on standing out through unique skills and talents, with individuals joining project teams as needed. The future workplace will be collaborative yet virtual, with remote and flexible work becoming the norm.
Disrupt you! strategies for billion dollar success in the era of endless inn...Jay Samit
The document discusses disruption in business and provides steps for how individuals can disrupt themselves. Some key points:
- The largest companies in various industries like accommodations, taxis, media, and retail don't own traditional assets in those industries.
- Disruption comes from exploring outside one's comfort zone and being willing to risk what you have built.
- Many jobs are at risk of automation and computerization in the coming years, so business as usual is dead.
- Individuals need to internalize beliefs that every obstacle is an opportunity and that one person can make a difference through determination in order to disrupt themselves.
- Lifelong learning is important as technology will impact careers and companies.
This document discusses emerging trends in technology and society that are transforming how people live and work. These include the rise of the internet, social media, collaborative economies, and more autonomous systems. It notes that many jobs can now be done remotely or as independent contractors. Megacities are growing rapidly, and new economic models are developing around sharing and collaboration. Coworking spaces are presented as places that can facilitate serendipitous connections between people from various backgrounds and fuel innovation.
The document discusses the problem of talented college graduates not pursuing careers as entrepreneurs and instead going into finance, consulting, and law. It proposes that redirecting this talent towards starting new businesses in communities across the country could help create millions of new jobs and transform the economy. The organization Venture for America is highlighted as working to solve this problem by connecting top graduates with startups and training them to become entrepreneurs. The goal is to launch a virtuous cycle of innovation, business building, and job creation.
The article discusses an interview with Richard Florida about how the current economic downturn represents a "Great Reset" that will fundamentally change work and the economy. Florida believes we are transitioning from a consumer-driven postwar economy to one based on knowledge work and services. This reset will eliminate manufacturing jobs but create high-skilled, high-paying creative jobs and many low-wage service jobs. For workers, Florida recommends obtaining new skills, seeking out employers willing to promote from within, and considering more creative service occupations. New York City is well-positioned to thrive during this transition due to its creative and innovative economy.
The document discusses the challenges of anticipating and adapting to future changes in the workplace and organizations. It notes that traditional ways of organizing work and management are inadequate for a volatile world. It also highlights the importance of employee voice, knowledge sharing, and building versatile organizations through reflective dialogue and partnership between management and the workforce.
The document discusses the importance of entrepreneurship and small businesses to the US economy. It notes that small businesses represent 99.7% of all employer firms, employ half of private sector employees, pay 45% of private payroll, and have generated 60-80% of net new jobs annually over the last decade. Additionally, small firms produce 13-14 times more patents per employee than large firms that are twice as likely to be highly cited. The internet has become increasingly important for small businesses, with online retail sales in the US expected to double from 2005 to 2010.

The document discusses strategic business planning in the 21st century amid disruption from technological changes. It notes that we have moved from an era of change to a change of era, with exponential technological advances like computing, communication, and data storage transforming business models. Institutions face challenges to their gross margins, unique selling points, and value propositions. To adapt, companies must focus on their purpose and creating value through innovation, agility, and a culture that attracts top talent. Metrics need to assess future potential, not just past financials. The rise of startups and networks means disruption is here to stay.

Class of 2013: Welcome to the 'New Hustle'
This is an undeniably difficult time to be graduating from college (or high school) and entering the workforce. Even with overall hiring holding steady this spring, the number of jobs available to new talent is even lower than forecast six months ago; the competition fierce, most starting wages still depressed. The class of 2013 -- part of the most-educated, yet most-indebted generation in history -- faces a long slog. If there is an upside, it is the emergence of a new way of making a living. I call it the "New Hustle."
The Great Recession of 2008 uncovered serious structural changes to our economy -- exposed plate shifts we managed to avoid or ignore for years. The big casualty was the American job -- the traditional contract of engagement between employee and employer. If you survived the Great Recession with a job, you considered yourself lucky. But in your heart of hearts, you knew things had changed forever. The epiphany: We are sometimes employed by others but we always work for ourselves.
The post-recession years have not been easy. As vexing as the dearth of jobs has been the problem of underemployment. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of persons employed part-time for economic reasons -- i.e., because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time position -- is about 8 million. Newsweek/Daily Beast surveyed American workers in 2009 and found that fully one-third of us were working either freelance or two jobs. And these were not the under-educated or the permanent poor -- these were middle- and upper-class workers, college-educated Americans earning more than $75,000 per year.
The outlook for millennials isn't improving much. In 2012, the Society of Human Resources Professionals (SHRM) surveyed new college graduates six months after graduation and found that 53 percent of them were unemployed -- more than one-third (36 percent) of those on the "employed" side of the data were working part-time jobs or temporary contracts. "People's perception of the stability of corporate life is eroding, if not totally gone. People know it's not smart to solely rely on corporate employment," says Pamela Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation.
The ever-present threat of job cuts and the reality of wage stagnation now mean that holding down one job may be risky business. For many, the new order of the day is to combine multiple jobs to make a livable salary. Millions of workers who hold a 40-hour per week full-time job have a side hustle going on. According to the US Bureau of Labor, in 2011, 7 million Americans worked a second job (up from 6 million workers in 2009) -- many holding down multiple gigs. This is the new reality for millions of people who can't make it on one salary, or who don't want to trust their fate to one employer and want the security of multiple income streams.

Citizenship and Business argues that granting citizenship to undocumented immigrants is mutually beneficial for both immigrants and businesses.
