This document discusses Siemens' approach to shaping the future of work. It notes that Siemens has over 379,000 employees worldwide and aims to balance traditional and future ways of working. To do so, Siemens has created an internal #FutureOfWork ecosystem to prototype new ideas through startup-like processes, with sponsorship from top executives. This ecosystem partners internally and externally to explore trends, test ideas in a protected sandbox, and share learnings as successful prototypes are implemented and scaled across the organization. The goal is to drive cultural change through transparency, agile working, and attracting talent, to help Siemens continuously innovate and predict the future of work.

No business is too big to fail – or too small to win!

6. #FutureOfWork is about the essential and existential questions…
…how do we work in the future and what do we work by then?
