Gartner Says That by 2017, 25 Percent of Enterprises Will Have an Enterprise App Store - 0 views

  •  
    "Gartner Says That by 2017, 25 Percent of Enterprises Will Have an Enterprise App Store Growing Number of Enterprise Mobile Devices and Enterprise Adoption of MDM Will Drive Demand and Adoption of Enterprise App Stores Analysts Examine the State of the Industry at Gartner Application Architecture, Development By 2017, 25 percent of enterprises will have an enterprise app store for managing corporate-sanctioned apps on PCs and mobile devices, according to Gartner, Inc. Enterprise app stores promise greater control over the apps used by employees, greater control over software expenditures and greater negotiating leverage with app vendors, but this greater control is only possible if the enterprise app store is widely adopted.  "Apps downloaded from public app stores for mobile devices disrupt IT security, application and procurement strategies," said Ian Finley, research vice president at Gartner. "Bring your own application (BYOA) has become as important as bring your own device (BYOD) in the development of a comprehensive mobile strategy, and the trend toward BYOA has begun to affect desktop and Web applications as well. Enterprise app stores promise at least a partial solution but only if IT security, application, procurement and sourcing professionals can work together to successfully apply the app store concept to their enterprises. When successful, they can increase the value delivered by the application portfolio and reduce the associated risks, license fees and administration expenses."  Gartner has identified three key enterprise app store trends and recommendations of how organizations can benefit from them:  The increasing number of enterprise mobile devices and the adoption of mobile device management (MDM) by enterprises will drive demand and adoption of enterprise app stores. Enterprises already have numerous choices for downloading software onto PCs, but most of them don't include support for smartphones and tablets. Enterprises are beginning to f

Five Trends Shaping the Future of Work - Forbes - 0 views

  •  The technologies in the consumer web help encourage and support new behaviors such as creating communities, being open and transparent, sharing information and ideas, easily being able to find people and information, and collaboration.  These behaviors (and technologies) are now making their way into our organizations and are helping shape the future of work.
  • Virtually every collaboration platform today has a cloud-based deployment option.  This means that the barrier to entry is virtually zero.  Business units no longer need to wait for corporate approval or the blessing of IT to make investments in these areas.
  • Most organizations today are struggling to adapt to this changing workforce as baby boomers are starting to make their way out.  This is a big factor shaping the future of work as organizations seeking to attract and retain top talent are going to need to adapt.

  • The idea of “connecting to work” is become more prevalent within organizations as they are starting to allow for more flexible work environments.  With an internet connection you can now access everything you need to get your job done.  The notion of having to work 9-5 and commuting to an office is dead.
  •  
    "When it comes to the future of work there are a few key trends which business leaders need to pay attention to.  Understanding these trends will allow organizations to better prepare and adapt to the changes which are impacting the way we work.  These five trends are: 1) changing behaviors which are being shaped by social media entering the enterprise 2) new collaborative technologies 3) a shift to the "cloud" 4) millennials soon becoming the majority workforce and 5) mobility and "connecting to work.""

​The Future of Robot Labor Is the Future of Capitalism | Motherboard - 0 views

  • According to Marx, automation that displaces workers in favour of machines that can produce more goods in less time is part and parcel of how capitalism operates. By developing fixed capital (machines), bosses can do away with much of the variable capital (workers) that saps their bottom line with pesky things like wages and short work days.
  • Capital itself is the moving contradiction, [in] that it presses to reduce labour time to a minimum, while it posits labour time, on the other side, as sole measure and source of wealth.
  • In Marxist theory, capitalists create profit by extracting what’s called surplus value from workers—paying them less than what their time is worth and gaining the difference as profit after the commodity has been sold at market price, arrived at by metrics abstracted from the act of labour itself. So what happens when humans aren’t the ones working anymore? Curiously, Marx finds himself among the contemporary robotic utopianists in this regard. Once robots take over society’s productive forces, people will have more free time than ever before, which will “redound to the benefit of emancipated labour, and is the condition of its emancipation,” Marx wrote. Humans, once freed from the bonds of soul-crushing capitalist labour, will develop new means of social thought and cooperation outside of the wage relation that frames most of our interactions under capitalism. In short, Marx claimed that automation would bring about the end of capitalism

  • “Not immediately productive” is the key phrase here. Just think of all the forms of work that have popped up since automation began to really take hold during the Industrial Revolution: service sector work, online work, part-time and otherwise low-paid work. You’re not producing anything while working haphazard hours as a cashier at Walmart, but you are creating value by selling what has already been built, often by machines. In the automated world, precarious labour reigns. Jobs that offer no stability, no satisfaction, no acceptable standard of living, and seem to take up all of our time by occupying so many scattered parcels of it are the norm.
  • A radically different form of work is that of providing personal data for profit. This online data work is particularly insidious for two main reasons. First, because it is often not recognized as work at all. You might not think that messaging a pal about your new pair of headphones is work, but labour theorists like Maurizio Lazzarato disagree. Second, because workers are completely cut out of the data profit loop, although that may be changing.
  • Some people are already working toward this. The basic income movement, which calls for a minimum salary to be paid out to every living human regardless of employment status, is a good start, because it implies a significant departure from the purely economic language of austerity in political thought and argues for a basic income for the salient reason that we’re human and we deserve to live. However, if we really want to change the way things are headed, more will be needed.

The Future of Work - livre blanc de Esselte - 0 views

  •  
    "As a result of the internet, new technologies, the huge increase in mobile or home working, part-time jobs and today's 'always on', 24/7 culture, we found that most people now spend more time working than sleeping. In fact by 2015 around 40% of the total workforce will be mobile. The reason for this is that work is no longer where the office is but for mobile workers it is wherever they are - be that their car, home, coffee shop, the airport, customer site or even on holiday. This is just one area our report identifies as having a massive impact on the way we work;" explains Richard Watson. Other factors covered in the paper include: Ageing workforces: By 2050 over 65's will represent around 50% of the working population in Europe Millennials and Gen Y: More tech-savvy than any other generation The generation gap: Millennials think senior management do not relate to them and use autocratic command and control structures Gender: The huge economic impact of getting more women in the workforce especially at senior levels. Eliminating the gap between male and female employment would boost GDP by 9% in US, 13% in Eurozone and 16% in Japan (Goldman Sachs). Mobile working: By 2015 new technologies mean 1.3 billion (or 40%) of the total working population will be mobile Security of Information: Workers will have their own devices (BYOD) and potentially work remotely creating huge security and data storage/retrieval challenges. Where will new talent for workforce come from? Talent scarcities worldwide mean that by 2030 the USA will need to add over 25 million workers to its talent base to sustain economic growth and Western Europe more than 45 million.

In the Sharing Economy, Workers Find Both Freedom and Uncertainty - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • In a climate of continuing high unemployment, however, people like Ms. Guidry are less microentrepreneurs than microearners. They often work seven-day weeks, trying to assemble a living wage from a series of one-off gigs. They have little recourse when the services for which they are on call change their business models or pay rates. To reduce the risks, many workers toggle among multiple services.
  • Certainly, it’s a good deal for consumers. Peer marketplaces democratize luxury services by making amateur chauffeurs, chefs and personal assistants available to perform occasional work once largely dominated by full-time professionals. Venture capital firms seem convinced.
  • In July, 9.7 million Americans were unemployed, and an additional 7.5 million were working part-time jobs because they could not find full-time work, according to estimates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.There are no definitive statistics on how many people work in the gig economy. But according to a report from MBO Partners, a company that provides consulting services to independent contractors, about 17.7 million Americans last year worked more than half time as independent contributors, among them project workers.

  • Jamie Viggiano, senior director of marketing at TaskRabbit, says the company is trying to improve the situation for its 30,000 contractors in 19 cities in the United States. It recently instituted a sitewide minimum wage of $15 an hour. It also adopted a $1 million insurance policy, covering both clients and contractors, for any property damage or bodily harm that occurs while performing a job. Still, Ms. Viggiano says that “across the industry, we have only scratched the surface of helping freelancers work in the gig economy.”
  • Technology has made online marketplaces possible, creating new opportunities to monetize labor and goods. But some economists say the short-term gig services may erode work compensation in the long term. Mr. Baker, of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, argues that online labor marketplaces are able to drive down costs for consumers by having it both ways: behaving as de facto employers without shouldering the actual cost burdens or liabilities of employing workers.
  • Labor activists say gig enterprises may also end up disempowering workers, degrading their access to fair employment conditions.“These are not jobs, jobs that have any future, jobs that have the possibility of upgrading; this is contingent, arbitrary work,” says Stanley Aronowitz, director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Technology and Work at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. “It might as well be called wage slavery in which all the cards are held, mediated by technology, by the employer, whether it is the intermediary company or the customer.”
  • TaskRabbit has started offering its contractors access to discounted health insurance and accounting services. Lyft has formed a partnership with Freelancers Union, making its drivers eligible for the advocacy group’s health plan and other benefit programs.That may not be enough. Dr. Standing, the labor economist, says workers need formal protections to address the power asymmetries inherent in contingent work. International rules, he says, could endow gig workers with basic entitlements — like the right to organize and the right to due process should companies seek to remove them from their platforms.

Work in the Future Will Fall into These 4 Categories -- HBR - 0 views

  •  
    Each of the four quadrants describes a different kind of organization, with different approaches to strategy, talent, and work: - Current state. Work resembles today, with similar technological connections and work arrangements, relying heavily on regular full-time employment. - Today, turbo-charged. Technology evolves, but management and workplace arrangements evolve more slowly. Traditional work relationships are supported by faster, better, and cheaper technology and systems such as personal devices and cloud-based human resource information. - Work reimagined. Here, new employment models evolve to include platforms, projects, gigs, freelancers, contests, contracts, tours of duty, and part-timers, but largely supported slower-evolving technology. - Uber empowered. An accelerated cycle of technology advancement and more democratic work arrangements fuel one another. New work and technology models include on-demand artificial intelligence, extreme personalization, and secure and accessible cloud-based work repositories.

Automation may require as many as 375 million people to find new jobs by 2030 - Quartz - 0 views

  • y 2030, up to 30% of the hours worked globally could be automated, according to a new report by the McKinsey Global Institute. Analysts in the consultancy’s research arm estimate that between 400 million and 800 million people could find themselves displaced by automation and in need of new jobs, depending on how quickly new technologies are adopted. Of this group, as many as 375 million people—about 14% of the global workforce—may need to completely switch occupational categories and learn a new set of skills to find work.
  • Notably, McKinsey argues that demand for work will increase as automation grows. Technology will drive productivity growth, which will in turn lead to rising incomes and consumption, especially in developing countries. Meanwhile, there will be more jobs in health care to meet the demands of aging societies and more investment in infrastructure and energy.
  • For these benefits to be realised, everyone needs to gain new skills, with governments and private companies taking on the unprecedented task of retraining millions of people in the middle of their careers. “Even if there is enough work to ensure full employment by 2030, major transitions lie ahead that could match or even exceed the scale of historical shifts out of agriculture and manufacturing,” the report says.

  • There will be other challenges too. In advanced economies, there is a risk that automation will worsen the trend of income polarization, with demand for high-wage jobs increasing, and demand for medium-wage jobs falling. Also, displaced workers will need to find jobs quickly—preferably within a year—otherwise frictional unemployment (lots of people moving between jobs) could put downward pressure on wages.
  •  
    "Fears that automation and machine learning will cause massive job losses and make people obsolete are starting to wane (well, unless you ask Stephen Hawking). Instead, there's a more optimistic prediction taking hold: that the new technology could actually lead to job gains. But the transition won't be easy."

Et si l'on se débarrassait une fois pour toutes de l'emploi ? - 0 views

  • Le travail comme contrôle social Une première solution serait de continuer à travailler, même si cela ne sert plus à rien, ne serait-que pour préserver un certain ordre social, comme l'imaginent Léo Henry et Jacques Mucchielli dans leur nouvelle Demain l’usine
  • Le travail comme expression de soi Il serait évidemment préférable de se remettre en quête du sens de ce que l’on nomme encore aujourd’hui « travail ». On ne peut cependant pas s’en tirer par des expressions toutes faites telles que « créativité » ou « empathie », puisqu’on fait aujourd’hui toutes sortes d’efforts pour doter les robots et les IA de ce type de capacités.
  • Le travail comme oeuvre collective Mais on ne travaille pas tout seul, ni pour soi. Le travail est par essence une activité sociale, tant dans son déroulement que dans son résultat. Beaucoup d’utopies des XIXe et XXe siècle s’organisaient autour d’une manière de travailler ensemble
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Le travail comme assurance-futur Oeuvrer, d’accord, mais à quoi ? Dans son article « The Option Value of the Human », situé à la lisière de la recherche et de la spéculation, l’informaticien et penseur de l’économie Steve Randy Waldmann suggère qu'à l'heure de la robotisation, la fonction du travail pourrait consister, d’une part, à garder en vie les savoir-faire et même les systèmes productifs du passé et d’autre part, à inventer le plus grand nombre de choses possibles, indépendamment de leur utilité immédiate.
  • ... Ou plus de travail du tout ? À moins… que nous apprenions à accepter l’oisiveté au nom de la contemplation, de l’amélioration de soi et de la philosophie, comme nous y invitent certaines des fictions les plus anciennes sur la robotisation du travail humain - le travail résiduel devenant une forme de “service social”, d’impôt temporel, comme dans la pièce « R.U.R, les Robots Universels de Rossum », de Karel Capek
  • Au fond, la disparition éventuelle du travail n’est peut-être un problème que dans un monde où la majorité des activités humaines s’inscrit dans un contexte marchand, justifiant dès lors un calcul coût-avantage qui tournera souvent à l’avantage de la machine. Tout en cherchant à inventer les métiers de demain, on pourrait aussi chercher aussi à imaginer la disparition de l’idée de métier, pour s’intéresser à l’infinie variété des « activités », des manières d’être utile à soi et aux autres.

    "Les deux premiers épisodes de la série d'articles « Boulofictions » se penchaient respectivement sur la façon dont la fiction nous aide à penser les futurs du travail et sur l'origine et les intentions des robots. Dans ce troisième épisode, Daniel Kaplan, à l'initiative du projet Work+, explore le scénario suivant : à supposer que les robots se substituent effectivement aux humains dans la plupart des emplois actuels et que la création de nouveaux emplois (notamment de servants, de réparateurs ou de coaches des machines) ne vient pas compenser la destruction des anciens, que pourrions-nous bien faire de nos vies ?"

10 Principles of The Future Manager - Jacob Morgan - 0 views

  •  
    When it comes to the future of work it's not just employees that are changing, managers are also having to change the ways in which they lead and in fact are HAVING to become leaders. These are 10 core principles or characteristics that managers will and must possess going forward :  - être un leader - être sur le front - comprendre la techno - mener par l'exemple - accepter la vulnérabilité (oser demander de l'aider) - croire en l'intelligence collective - être un "fire starter" (qui challenge les conventions, expérimente, ..) - donner des retours et des félicitations en temps réel - être conscient des limites personnelles

    "I've seen people pass out, hit the floor like a pancake, and smash their face open," a worker at Tesla's "factory of the future" told the Guardian in a report published this week. "They just send us to work around him while he's still lying on the floor." The Guardian report described long hours and intense pressure to meet CEO Elon Musk's production goals-even if that means enduring or ignoring injuries. Since 2014, according to the report, hundreds of ambulances have been called to the factory to treat workers. This portrayal doesn't quite jive with Musk's world-changing vision. And Tesla isn't only Silicon Valley company facing this type of irony. Technology companies' reputations as employers often stem from how they treat highly paid engineers, but many also employ thousands of blue collar workers. Tech workers at these companies receive high pay, elaborate perks, and progressive workplace policies, but blue collar workers for the same companies often work in circumstances that look much less...

The new work | Harold Jarche - 0 views

  • Another factor in the changing nature of work is the changing perception of value. In the creative economy, more value is coming from intangible assets than tangible ones.
  • Learning to better deal with intangibles is the next challenge for today’s organizations and workers. I developed the following graphic to describe the four job types in relation to 1) work competencies and 2) economic value. It appears that an economy that creates more intangible value will require a greater percentage of Thinkers and Builders.
  • As we move into a post-job economy, the difference between labour and talent will become more distinct. Producers and Improvers will continue to get automated, at the speed of Moore’s law. Those lacking enough ‘Talent’ competencies may get marginalized. I think there will be increasing pressure to become ‘Thinkers + Builders’, similar to what  Cory Doctorow describes as Makers in his fictional book about the near future.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • What is relatively certain is that ‘Labour’ competencies, which most education and training still focuses on, will have diminishing value. How individuals can improve their Thinking and Building competence should be the focus of anyone’s professional development plan. How organizations can support Thinking and Building should be the focus of Organizational Development and Human Resources departments. While Producing and Improving will not go away, they are not where most economic value will be generated in the Network Era.

    En partant des 4 types de travail définis par Lou Adler (Thinker, Builder, Improver, Producer), des compétences définies par Gary Hamel (obedience, diligence, intellect pour l'économie industrielle et de la information; initiative, créativité et passin pour l'économie créative), Harold Jarche essaie de définir le futur du travail

The future of enterprise - 5 - Welcome to the disorganized organization -- ParisTechReview - 0 views

  •  
    Work organization has undergone major evolution over the past 40 years, but we are only at the beginning of this path. If an enterprise today, with its current organization, wishes to stay in the market and ensure the personnel are committed, it must start by taking into account what these persons really are: individuals with weaker professional and personal binding to the company, though constantly building new links round the successive projects proposed. Digitalization allows for remote work in a sort of cooperative nomadism. The general trend to adopt project-mode organization may lead to the arrival of project contracts. Up to recent decades, the enterprise was characterized by a unity of place. Enterprises tomorrow will be characterized by a unity of time, that needed for a project, for a small and large scale contracts, but with no unity of place, inasmuch as the workers can be thousands of kilometres away, in third party office premises or at home, in a remote tele-work mode. Working no longer consists of collaborating with colleagues in a given place built for this purpose, but rather networking with others and organizing a shared sociability. The question is: will the very concept of enterprise survive?
