The pace of change is accelerating everyday and the workplace is no different. The future of work is going to be very different that we are used today.

1. The Future of Work

2. We all feel how the pace of change continues to
accelerate
Time to reach 50 Million users:
Radio – 38 years
Television – 13 years
Internet – 4 years
Facebook – 200M users in under 1 year

3. This all happened in last 5 years or so…
Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles.
Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates
no content.
Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory.
Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns
no real estate.

revolution

10. Imagine this world of work
Personal Brand is paramount
Loyalty to employer is dead
Sourcing of labour must be fully on-demand and agile
B2B relationships drive everyday life
Everyone responsible for their own growth and success
Emergence of a true virtual workforce
Managing remote/distributed work becomes critical to success
New technologies must be developed (Online resumes, video
interviewing, fit assessment, etc.)
Changes to policy and belief structures related to contingent workers
Performance Management re-imagined
