Unlocking the Future of Work: Don’t Let the Future Happen to You

Too often, people in organizations choose to see and at the same time, choose not to see. We have been working in denial for this past decade and if we want to be ready for the future, we need to take our blinders off and unleash our individual and organizational potential. <br><br>You can label it the information era, the connection era, the knowledge era, the sharing economy or whatever suits your fancy. It doesn’t really matter what you call it as long as you are prepared for the shifts that are coming. Leaders and individuals who choose to accept that the work will be different and that any organization can create new markets, are the ones I want to partner with as a trusted advisor. There is a storm coming that we can either start preparing for or deal with the aftermath. What will happen when work-life balance transforms into life-work. Picture this: it’s some time later in the 21st century, what have you created for yourself and/or your organization? <br><br>Are you ready to contact me to help you and your organization start doing the hard work of shifting gears? If so. I’d love the opportunity to work with you and your organization as a keynote speaker at a large event, executive management meeting or small group workshops that unleash and ignite innovation.

  40. So what can we do? Create  new  markets  for   your  organizaJon.   Experiment.  Discover  what   works  and  what  doesn’t.   Fail  fast.   Stop  managing  adults.  Start   managing  work/projects.   Enable  your  strategy  with   tools.  Remember   technology  doesn’t   change;  people  do   Experiment  but  don’t  let   technology  lead   CollaboraJon  is  not  a   technology  issue;  it’s  a   people  issue   Stop  focusing  on   employee  engagement   programs.   Involve  your  people  in  a   meaningful  way.   PracJce  collaboraJon.   Listen.  Have  less  meeJngs   and  more  conversaJons.   Understand  how  the   meaning  of  trust  is   changing.   Build  relaJonships.     44 ©  2013  Simplifying  Work.  Ayelet  Baron
