Remote Work Revolution?

The physical location of some work has changed, but the organisation of that work is still very much centralised.

Zoom ain't the problem.

How we design our work is the problem...

As jobs unbundle into tasks, new types of organisations, markets, platforms, and work ecosystems will evolve that are better suited for our needs in the Digital Covid Age.

How Organizational Network Analysis Can Increase Team Collaboration

latest from Workforce Futurist Newsletter is part of a series on ‘The New Technology of Teams’

This article is a collaboration with @fmarinmayer and @CTS_ONA (1/8)
All great work happens in teams.

Yet many management and HR processes are designed around the individual.

We need new approaches, and tools, to support successful teams.

How is Teamwork Changing?

There's an increasingly decentralized workforce as many people work outside of organizational structures.

These workers are not working in isolation but forming new teams.

HR Tech News -> @Workday to acquire @peakonteam for $700m

Badly needed as employee sentiment data required to solve many workforce business challenges.

#PeopleAnalytics #HRTech

seekingalpha.com/news/3655563-w…
Big #HRTech players on a feeding frenzy to fix problems and mismatch between

sales pitch - we solve workforce problems using analytics, and,

business results - patchy due to narrow strips of poor data and need for expertise
Will this be a good investment as threats on horizon, with
Web3 turning model upside down

Candidates will have verifiable career profiles changing reqs of core HR systems

Decentralised/hybrid workforce will need different approaches to managing work

To understand the potential of blockchain in the world of work bypass the maths and slow database design,

instead, focus on how we use our career data.

Self-Transcendent, or working for a higher goal

People are more likely to view work as meaningful when it mattered to others more than just to themselves.

Meaningfulness is not always a positive experience. We don’t walk around in a euphoric state all day at work.
