The document discusses several trends that will impact the future of work over the next 10-15 years:
1) The rise of the knowledge worker and innovation economics will require more flexible and collaborative work environments.
2) Demographic changes like an aging workforce and Generation Y entering the workforce will lead to new patterns of full-time, part-time, and contract work.
3) Advances in technology will allow more distributed and mobile work, but cities will still be important for amenities and public transportation. Offices will remain important hubs but with more flexible uses of space.
Presentation Denis Pennel for ILO ITC - 2 November 2015Denis Pennel
This document discusses how the staffing needs of companies are evolving due to changes in technology and workforce demographics. It notes that loyalty to employers has decreased as workers see themselves as "free agents" and talent is available via online platforms. The types of jobs and relationships between companies and workers are diversifying, with more temporary and freelance positions. Companies now must effectively recruit and manage a variety of worker types, including remote and contingent workers. New approaches to talent management are needed to source, engage, and integrate diverse workforce populations in this shifting environment.

Future of Work The Emerging View - 19 09 15Future Agenda
The is an initial new view of the future of work based on insights gained from several workshops undertaken around the world in 2015. It builds on the initial perspective and adds in new thoughts from the US, UK, Singapore and South Africa. It is being used as input stimulus in a final workshop in Mumbai on 9 October and will be updated after that. Please feel free to share, add comments and provide additional thoughts so we can make the final version as inclusive as possible and useful for all.
This document discusses how computer technology has impacted work and labor markets in developed countries. It begins by outlining the rapid improvements in computing power and declining costs predicted by Moore's Law. While some argue this heralds a "Second Machine Age" that could automate many jobs and lead to widespread unemployment, others believe technological change is slowing. The document then examines lessons from history on how technological developments have affected employment, finding that overall employment is relatively unchanged as jobs shift between sectors. Computers are shown to contribute more to rising inequality by replacing routine tasks and polarizing the job market. The main policy challenges are changing skill demands and inequality, not mass unemployment.
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.
Transformation of work with Information Technologymanishthaper
The document summarizes the transformation of work and employment from the 1920s to the present. It discusses how employment has shifted from agriculture to manufacturing and services. While manufacturing jobs have declined in most advanced countries, de-industrialization happened at different rates depending on each nation's policies. The structure of employment has polarized, with job growth at the top and bottom but a decline in middle-income jobs. New technologies have created new divisions of labor between humans and computers and among different types of human work.

We Are Running Our Organizations on Old DataHelge Tennø
- Organizations are running on "old code" and relying on traditional practices that limit their ability to adapt and innovate. New types of data from technologies like AI, machine learning, IoT, and computer vision will require organizations to fundamentally rethink how they are structured and make decisions.
- To take advantage of new opportunities, organizations need to be reprogrammed and move away from static, echo-chamber thinking. They must challenge existing assumptions, processes, business models and consider outliers in order to solve new types of problems. This will require distributing decision making and a real-time approach not possible with current structures.
How technology and business is changing communicationHelge Tennø
1. The document discusses technology, business, and how they relate to people and change.
2. It argues that technology itself does not solve problems, but rather creates new opportunities and habits by enabling change. How people adjust to and harness change is more important than the technology itself.
3. Business and brands must understand customers' perspectives on change and ensure new technologies meet customer needs and promises. The most important factors are humans, understanding change, and aligning technology and business with customer priorities.
Chris Meyer, CEO of Monitor Networks, discusses the future of work which is influenced by four unstoppable trends: geographic and economic dislocation due to globalization and offshoring putting pressure on wages in rich countries; automation reducing jobs in manufacturing, services likely to be displaced next; longer life spans and careers requiring life-long learning as skills become obsolete faster; and collaboration technologies leading to more porous organizational boundaries and collective work. These trends suggest the need to rethink management, how and what we work on. The context of work will be radically different from the past.

Questions around how to produce more with less and secure future resources are trending.
Jopaul is concerned about India's declining competitive advantage and attractiveness to foreign investors due to less technological innovation and digital adoption. This fear-based environment could lead to a less productive society focused on traditional models within physical reach rather than optimization and global opportunities.

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.
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.
Analyze the forces shaping work, workplace and worker skills required in the 21st Century.
Discuss the implications of these trends for the workforce, firms and management.
Articulate the ways in which people differ from one another at a high level and why it is important for management.
The document discusses the importance of innovation to economic growth and competitiveness. It argues that while the private sector is the primary driver of innovation, the government plays an important supporting role through funding basic research, providing incentives for commercial research, using procurement to drive new technologies, establishing intellectual property protections, and addressing other market failures. It provides examples of how government investments, policies and programs can help spur private sector innovation to address national priorities.

Universal Basic Income as a Tool of Labor Market Transformation due to Techno...Ekaputra Sananto
This document discusses universal basic income as a tool for labor market transformation due to technological advancement. It was presented by Ekaputra Sananto and Ruth Artia Heldifanny from the University of Indonesia at the 14th Economix conference. The document includes an abstract, introduction on automation and its impact on employment, a discussion of structural unemployment from technological changes, and a conclusion that universal basic income could help address issues of unemployment by providing flexibility and encouraging innovation.
The document discusses perspectives on the future of work from multiple expert discussions around the world. Key points include: demographic shifts like aging populations will change work and retirement expectations; new technologies will both create new jobs and replace existing ones, especially information-rich repetitive jobs; and organizations will need to adapt through more flexible project-based work and lifelong reskilling and upskilling of workers. Governments will need to consider policies to support workers through these changes, such as financing retraining, rethinking pensions, and potentially implementing universal basic incomes.
Future of Work
The future of work is increasingly uncertain. What is clear is that we are in the midst of a major transformation driven by multiple drivers of change. How individuals, companies, cities and governments respond to the upcoming shifts will be pivotal for future economic and social wellbeing, but this is far from straightforward. Some major decisions lie ahead.
Ahead of a speech to MPs in London next month and several subsequent expert discussions, this is a point of view on how, where and why the future of work is in flux.
It explores three key drivers of change as leaders around the world view it – shifting demographics, technology innovation and the organisational response. In addition, we have highlighted several areas where new policy decisions need to be made.
Challenges of 21st century managers and humanityRishabh Maity
The document outlines 20 major challenges facing humanity and managers in the 21st century: (1) saving the Earth from environmental degradation, (2) reversing extreme poverty worldwide, and (3) steadying unsustainable population growth. Other challenges include achieving sustainable lifestyles, preventing all-out war, dealing with globalization, protecting biodiversity, defusing terrorism, cultivating creativity, and conquering disease. Bridging the growing gap between technical skills and wisdom is also a concern, as is ensuring global food and health security amid a rising population and new health threats.
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 document discusses the rise of the "Purpose Economy" and how cities can prepare for this change. It notes that more people, especially millennials, are prioritizing purpose and meaningful work over just profit. Cities that inspire and support this shift, through enabling human-scale technology, embracing millennials' values, responding to instability, and supporting changing families, will be well-positioned to lead in the new Purpose Economy. The keynote speaker argues the city that best facilitates this transition could become the next global innovation hub, replacing Silicon Valley, just as Silicon Valley replaced Detroit during the rise of the Information Economy.
This document discusses opportunities for information and communication technology (ICT) to support sustainability. It argues that past research has focused on how ICT can help people do existing things more efficiently, but has not explored its potential to enable radical changes in how society operates. ICT could be a powerful tool for transformation if companies provide platforms to connect people and scale good ideas, thereby fundamentally altering lifestyles. The document calls for focusing research on ICT's systemic impacts and abilities to disrupt current systems and enable new approaches to meet sustainability challenges like climate change.
White Paper: What Makes a Great Workplace? Learning from Best Place to Work C...barbarajahncke
The document discusses attributes of well-designed workplaces for knowledge workers at companies designated as "Best Places to Work". It identifies 14 physical attributes associated with well-designed workplaces based on the author's research and experience in workplace design. The attributes include providing spaces that allow for individual focus work as well as collaboration, control over environmental factors like temperature and light, and accommodations for different work styles and technologies. The findings suggest these attributes contribute to productivity and employee satisfaction at successful companies.

10 Awesome Things You Can do With PowerPointKelly Walsh
Check out all the cool things you can do with PowerPoint! Pretty awesome! This slide deck was created based on the article of a similar title originally published on EmergingEdTech [URL: http://www.emergingedtech.com/2014/09/awesome-things-powerpoint-can-do/]
8 Examples of Transforming Lessons Through the SAMR ModelKelly Walsh
The document provides 8 examples of lessons that have been transformed through each level of the SAMR model (substitution, augmentation, modification, and redefinition). It explains that the examples were either borrowed from other teachers or created by the author. The examples are meant to help teachers understand how they can leverage technology to make lessons more interactive, collaborative, and engaging by applying the different levels of SAMR.
Exploring how technology caters to your students multiple intelligencesKelly Walsh
The document discusses Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences and how technology can be used to cater to students' different intelligences, including verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, bodily-kinesthetic, visual-spatial, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. It provides examples of tools that align with each type of intelligence, such as storytelling apps for verbal learners, coding tools for kinesthetic learners, and mapping apps for visual learners. The document argues that tapping into students' multiple intelligences through various technologies can help improve learning outcomes.
The document discusses research that shows the effective use of technology in the classroom can increase student achievement in several ways: it increases student attention and engagement; improves standardized test scores; enhances higher-order thinking skills; and leads to greater success in students' future lives and careers. The research cited includes studies that found students learned more and performed better on assessments when using computer-based learning. It also found technology helped develop students' critical thinking and improved their attitudes towards learning.
Technology and business trends are driving massive changes that are reshaping the global economy. Old business models are failing as the pace of change accelerates. To thrive in this environment, organizations need to adopt new "Business 3.0" approaches. This involves having a clear strategy, prioritizing innovation and execution, cultivating an engaged workforce through a positive culture, and empowering employees through flexible organizational structures. Companies that master these four new success skills of strategy, execution, culture and organization will be best equipped to adapt and succeed in today's turbulent business environment.

Future of Business IDE - Quito - 20 April 2015Future Agenda
Initial views to kick off a Future of Business event in Quito, Ecuador on April 20th - in partnership with IDE Business School. This brings together a number of business-relavent issues from across several Future Agenda topics insulting future of the company, data, resources, wealth and loyalty
The document discusses the impact of disruptive changes on employment levels, skills, and recruitment over the coming years. Major trends like artificial intelligence, robotics, and cloud technology are expected to significantly impact jobs and skills demands. By 2020 over a third of core skills for most occupations will be skills that are not considered crucial today. While business leaders recognize these challenges, they have been slow to develop strategies and are not confident in their ability to prepare. The report calls for businesses to invest in reskilling employees and developing new workforce strategies to help workers and companies adapt to changes.
Gensler 2014 Design Forecast highlights the trends that will shape design in the coming decade. They reflect six topics that form an agenda for the future.
Placemaking is the art of arranging spaces to enrich the urban experience. Continuities and changes will impact that experience. Changes might include more sustainable ways of living and new social networks but greater polarisation. Expect more of the same from globalisation, information technologies and demographic change. Cities could become more gated and ghettoized or more compact, integrated and cohesive.

Global employee engagement increased slightly to 61% overall in 2013 as the global economy stabilized. However, perceptions of the employee value proposition have decreased, with fewer employees seeing a long-term path or compelling value with their current employer. Engagement levels and economic trends vary significantly between emerging and mature markets. Best employer companies that display strong leadership, reputation, performance orientation and engagement outperform average companies on key financial metrics like revenue growth and shareholder value, even those with only top quartile engagement levels. Leaders play a key role in driving engagement throughout organizations.
The document discusses 12 emerging technologies that have the potential for widespread economic disruption by 2025. These technologies were selected based on their rate of advancement, potential scope of impact, value that could be affected, and disruptive potential. The technologies include mobile internet, automation of knowledge work, internet of things, cloud technology, advanced robotics, autonomous vehicles, next-generation genomics, energy storage, 3D printing, advanced materials, advanced oil/gas exploration, and renewable energy. Metrics are provided showing how each technology meets the criteria in terms of things like costs reductions, growth rates, potential users/industries affected, and value of associated markets.
The document identifies 10 trends that will profoundly shape business in the coming years:
1. Economic activity will shift globally with Asia's GDP nearly converging with Western Europe's in the next 20 years. Manufacturing and services will shift more dramatically.
2. Public sector activities will grow to support aging populations, requiring productivity gains to avoid high taxes.
3. Almost a billion new consumers will enter global markets in emerging economies, expanding spending power outside the West.
4. Technological connectivity will transform how people live and interact by enabling global, instant communication and new types of relationships.
5. The battle for talent will shift as developing countries produce more university graduates than developed ones.

Report | McKinsey Global Institute by:
James Manyika and Richard Dobbs are directors of the McKinsey Global Institute, where Michael Chui is a principal; Jacques Bughin is a director in McKinsey’s Brussels office; Peter Bisson is a director in the Stamford office.
The document discusses three potential "worlds of work" that may emerge by 2022 based on trends transforming the future of work:
1. The Blue World - Large corporations integrate further and assume greater responsibility over their employees' social welfare.
2. The Green World - Specialization leads to rise of collaborative networks of smaller organizations.
3. The Orange World - Social and environmental agenda forces fundamental changes to business strategies.
Most organizations will likely exhibit aspects of all three worlds. The emergence of these worlds will create new challenges for HR functions around skills shortages, managing change, and creating effective workforces.
Organisations face many challenges in managing business in the 21st century. Globalization, new technologies, and changing workforce demographics require flexible strategies and virtual/global leadership. Organisations must recruit knowledge workers, embrace diversity, and adapt workplace environments and HR policies to accommodate new trends like telework, automation, and work-life balance demands. Effective communication and ethical/socially responsible practices are also needed to navigate complex challenges in this rapidly evolving business landscape.

The document summarizes 14 domains that are reaching a point of disruption and fundamental change due to accelerating technological and social shifts. These domains include work, retail, media, money, privacy, government, education, climate, interfaces, collaboration, social divide, artificial intelligence, warfare, and self-creation. For each domain, the document provides a brief analysis of the changes underway and suggests potential responses to the disruption, emphasizing the need for action, adaptation, and developing skills to thrive in the new environment.
Chief Information Officers (CIOs) will face dramatic changes in the next five to seven years, as architecture, engineering, and construction and owner-operated (AEC/O) firms come to grip with the massive amounts of information being generated by all things digital. They will face new technology, redefined business processes, and shifting customer demands, both internally and externally. Leading this evolution will be critical, as CIOs are the key company decision makers and leaders within AEC/O firms, determining the success of a firm’s growth and business strategies by understanding the intersection of information and business value.
White papers - Companies of the future : the issues of the digital transforma...I MT
Digital transformation is reshaping companies in three main ways: automation, dematerialization, and reorganization of intermediation models. This transformation is accelerated by big data and the Internet of Things, as well as individuals and communities taking charge of producing certain goods. It impacts business processes, models, and the role of humans in companies.

The document discusses 20 trends that will shape the next decade according to the Intuit 2020 Report.

Generation Z will enter their teenage years, being natively fluent in mobile and social platforms. Trend 2 discusses how baby boomers will dominate the aging global population but will continue to work and engage actively in life rather than fully retiring.
