Letz Create the Future of Work
Episode Title The future of work is here now. Learn how to move forward. Episode subtitle Exploring what the future looks like for job
October 15, 2020
We help leaders and organisations turn the future they desire into their reality.
In the age of digital technology, the way we do business has been undergoing a radical shift, bringing with it new customer expectations and new opportunities, but requiring new ways or working to realise new value. Traditional management practices designed for the industrial age are holding organisations and their people back from realising their potential.
We fix that.
Knowing where you want to go is one thing. Knowing how to get there is another. Leadership is the skill, practices, processes and mindsets for bringing people together to realise opportunities by optimising today’s resources for tomorrow’s conditions.
When every business problem today is either triggered by digital technology and/or solved by it, being adept at digital transformations is critical to making or breaking the future success of organisations of every size and in every industry.
Don’t let an under-prepared workforce hold you back. The lag in skills development for work in today’s fast-paced environment has made upskilling the organisation’s biggest (and the most easily avoided) risk to generating future value.
There are two parts to future: the future that happens to you, and the future you make happen.
Both offer opportunities – to the well prepared, that is.
As a smart leader you know not changing is unsustainable – the future is going to come anyway.
But just because the future isn’t predictable, it doesn’t make it uncontrollable. What happens next depends on what you do now.
1. Futuring: turning the future into a management asset
What risks and opportunities lie ahead? Where are they? How can you match your capabilities and people to address them?
Futuring applies multiple intelligences, planning and design processes including visual thinking, trends and insights analysis and scenario planning, to create possible constructions of the future so you can work on it before it arrives.
2. Future readiness: harnessing the power of technology
Once you know where you want to go, you need a process to get there.
Future readiness is unlikely without digital transformation which is using technology to realise the organisation’s resources including skills, knowledge, techniques, systems and methodologies in new ways to create new value.
3. Upskilling: unlocking the potential of people
Advancing technology, new customer expectations, shifting social attitudes: combined, these factors are fundamentally changing the source and nature of organisational value – aka the future of work. We build the individual and net abilities of your people around the skills and capabilities for producing, capturing and delivering value in our constantly evolving world.
Use our digital transformation guide...and start creating new value in just 90 days.
A digital transformation is the goal and process of using technology to create new value from your organisational assets.
We’ll show you how you can implement a digital transformation that:
Identifies untapped value in your organisation
Utilises technology to its fullest advantage
Engages your people in an adaptive organisation and avoid the usual painful and costly blockers to change
Your information will not be used for any purpose other than to send you one email per week over the next 90 days (13 in total), each with an actionable step that will set you up to launch your business building, competition busting, disruption-beating transformation.
The Michelangelo Project is a book about the future of work and how we should respond to the challenges of the digital economy.
I recommend this book to you if you are concerned that change is a recent phenomenon negatively affecting your work life; it is not. One thing is constant, and that is change.
~ Russell Bode, Managing Director, Inzenius
The Michelangelo Project, authored by Meta Management founder Isabel Wu, answers many of the questions that keep people up at night when they think about the future of work. The book takes you on a journey from the beginning of change and those who faced it, through more recent periods and its impact on human work life.
Using stories to empathise how change has and will affect us all, The Michelangelo Project offers the reader a better pathway to approaching, responding to and considering their current digital challenges, and how to benefit from them.
