How Will We Work?

SO… you’re a work-life revolutionary who wants to be sure people can thrive in their personal life and that organizations can thrive, too

What if work was like this in say, ten years? Or tomorrow? What would you do?

Where Will We Work? Plus…UntetheredIncubatorsCo-working spaces

With Whom Will We Work? In swarms -- dynamic internal + external project teams that produce & then disband In teams, but globally, generationally, culturally, ‘competentially’-diverse teams Where information is ‘crowd-sourced’/open-sourced “Where the smartest person in the room is… the room”

How Will We work? Fast Intensely In networks that cross organizational boundaries Less well-defined permanent roles Tech-reliant

What Kind of Work Will We Do?  Knowledge work  Attention-demanding  Learning-intensive  Service work  Attention-giving  Inventing and co-creating  Making and growing things And I want autonomy and meaning with my paycheck.

When Do We Work? 24/7 Anytime. All the time. Overtime. Flexibly - when we want to. Without boundaries, personal time or down time.

What’s Happening Outside?  The economy is unpredictable. Both global and local matter.  We feel less safe & secure – jobs aren’t stable, nor are our savings…or our neighborhoods. The ice cap is melting and we worry about the planet.  Social polarization and incivility are rampant  TMI -- even though we can tailor how we get information  Complexity has exploded It’s all a bit much…

What Must We Do? Focus Filter information Self-regulate Learn. Lead. Invent. Make. Discover resources Build relationships Manage time & ambiguity Adapt.

Ah… But Who Do We Work for? Increasingly ourselves as freelancers, independent contractors, consultants, entrepreneurs, and sure, for an employer, too or both at once inventors and makers.

So if you’re a work-life revolutionary… What is the ‘organization’ you want to influence? Whose culture? What work environment? Who’s in control? Did the work-life job just morph into something else?

How we work is changing Let’s change it in the right direction.

So, now what?
