The-Future-of-Work-What-Does-Work-Mean-2025-and-Beyond - 0 views

  •  
    Introduction The meaning of work The "Future of Work" has been the subject of an enormous amount of research, both byacademics and other commentators. Large numbers of books, reports and journal articleshave been devoted entirely or in substantial part to this topic. Globalization and technologyin combination are resulting in dramatic changes in how work is done and where it isundertaken. Work can now easily be broken into smaller tasks and redistributed around theworld. Dramatic improvements in real time communications, including the development of "virtual worlds" , are transforming the concept of what it means to be "at work", althoughthere is sometimes a tendency to exaggerate and sensationalise in order to sell books andnewspapers. 1

  •  
    The 30th ISPSO Annual Meeting will explore the Future of Work from a psychoanalytic perspective. How do we now understand what is 'work' in the light of globalization, networked communities, instant information, demographic, technological and climate change? The centre of gravity of global enterprise has shifted southwards, opening new markets and creating new wealth but the gulf has widened between those have employment and those who are unable to gain entry into the world of work.

The Future of Work: What It Means for Individuals, Businesses, Markets and Governments - 0 views

  •  
    The Future of Work examines the challenges to conventional notions of work and organization brought on by new digital technologies and trends. As the velocity of change increases, institutions and individuals must adapt. Yet many structures, including those in education, government, business and the economy, often remain rooted in the past. The report captures the insights of the Nineteenth Annual Aspen Institute Roundtable on Information Technology, where business leaders, technologists, international politicians, academics and innovators explored how global structures and institutions are being confronted by the 21st century realities of distributed knowledge, crowdsourcing, open platforms and networked environments. The report shares the solutions these leaders proposed for preserving individual well-being and defining a future world of work that benefits everyone involved.

Redesigning Your Organization for the Future of Work - 0 views

  •  
    The work world of the next several decades will be significantly different from the work world of the last two decades in at least three key ways: * There will be a dramatic and rapid shift in the capabilities of technology that reduces the costs of coordinating activities and sharing ideas. * There will be a set of economic activities that is shifting away from the 20th-century industrial or manufacturing-based model and mass-consumer brands to a model based on knowledge and co-creation between consumers and suppliers. * There will be new patterns of demand for talent and skills in which many individuals, particularly those with higher levels of education, will have the leverage to create work arrangements that are more conducive to adult growth than were possible before.
