FOCUS OF THE CONVERSATION:
When it comes to the Future of Work, corporate leaders face conflicting data and a wide spectrum of opinions that make it hard to lead and challenging to know what kind of culture to strive for. We’ll tackle the toughest dualities and paint the picture for how to get ahead of trends.
FUTURE OF WORK DUALITIES:
- Tech makes work better. Tech dehumanizes the workplace.
- Collaboration is great for results. Collaboration is messy.
- We should be open for business 24/7. Work-life balance is golden for employees.
- The future of work is robots threatening people. The future of work is people, augmented by great VR/AR/AI.
- Offices and the “built environment” should look like traditional headquarters, with minor tweaks. Traditional offices are a thing of the past and leaders need a new blueprint for the built environment.
- Productivity should be the central driver of culture. Humanity should rule.
- Values should start with the assumption that profits rule. Values should serve more than profit
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to incorporate the latest workplace innovations into your company’s future
- How to develop a futureproofed game plan for designing the places where people work
- How to design “worklife” to strike the right balance between collaboration and individual contribution
- How to embrace technology while also supporting humanity in the workplace
- How to stay ahead of trends and the rapid pace of change
- How to get involved in our research project, “The Future of Work 2020”
