The World of Work is Rapidly Changing. Are You and Your Organization Adapting?

The world, and especially the world of work, is changing at a rapid pace. In fact, from a technological perspective,Moore’s Law postulates that the rate of change is exponential, doubling on itself approximately every 18 months. Many of the things that are driving the changes in work are due to technology, but some are not.

This month we will be exploring on the blog some of the key changes we are seeing in the world of work and what those changes mean for us, more specifically what they mean for us in terms of possibility and opportunity for the individual and the organization. We’ll provide some advice on what you can do to capitalize on each opportunity.

Here are the key things we will hit:

  1. Trend 1: Conscious Capitalism. Want to make a difference? Don’t start a charity, start a business.
  2. Trend 2: What happened to the newspaper? How technology is changing the way we market and communicate from guest blogger and marketing guru, Heather Thompson.
  3. Trend 3: It doesn’t matter how and where work gets done. The death of office space, office hours and the employee-employer relationship.
  4. Trend 4: The death of the policy, at least we hope.
  5. Trend 5: The changing world of work changes education slowly but surely.
  6. Trend 6: Really not a trend, but the changing world of work and how it effects the job seeker by guest blogger Stephanie Siebel.

The world is changing, are you changing with it?
