The Deeply Human, Deeply Social Future of Work
While the bells-and-whistles of the latest technology get the most attention, people will continue to want to work together. We are a social species with instinctual urges to collaborate. The future of work will call people to team up to tackle ever-more complex problems with greater urgency. That means a transition from organizations build for stability and predictability to structures optimized for fluidity and adaptive capacity. Leading such organizations will require the ability to sense-and-respond rapidly amidst ambiguity and unpredictability.
“Eric is a fantastic communicator and really engaged us as participants.”
