Our study of The Future of Work is already producing some interesting and useful insights and we’re starting to see areas where leaders and organizations can definitely improve.
How do I get involved?
To date, many influential and forward-thinking people in leading organizations have taken part as they view the study as a valuable benchmarking opportunity and a source of ideas that can feed into their planning processes. If you’d like to participate, there are 3 ways to get involved:
- An online survey
- Face-to-face interviews with managers in large organizations
- Face-to-face interviews with C-Suite/Executive Leaders
In return for doing a face-to-face interview we’re offering a free copy of the full report and a presentation to contributors and their teams. We will publish the report in April 2013. Please contact us to learn more.
Make a difference…
You may be wondering how a study can really predict the future of work. I’d like to quote from Gareth Morgan’s ground-breaking book Images of Organization that was published pre-worldwideweb in 1986:
“In the longer term, it is possible to see organizations becoming synonymous with their information systems, since microprocessing facilities create the possibility of organizing without having an organization in physical terms. This new technology creates a capacity for decentralizing the nature and control of work, allowing white-collar workers engaged in related tasks to work in remote locations while being linked on a continuous basis through on-line information networks which maintain a fully integrated system. Many organizations of the future may have no fixed location, with members interacting through personal computers and audiovisual devices to create a network of exchange and interrelated activity, perhaps with remote-controlled robots performing physical work.”
Imagine, 25 years from now telling your children or grand children how you contributed to the Future of Work…
