The Future is not sometime later...it is actually now. As each minute passes, the opportunity to grow is irretrievably lost. Most of us humans spend a majority of our lives Working for a living. and it kills us. Isn't that an irony?
The future of work demands New Mindsets for New Ways of Learning in Action, Orchestrating Work and Innovation and straddling between Intrapreneurship and Entrepreneurship.
Workers were color coded at a point when a few rich and the powerful created industry and jobs and most people sought employment. The governments then and now have always stayed closer to the mood swings of the rich and the powerful and even shaped government work along similar lines. Collar Coloring was introduced as a way of classifying workers and mostly people were condemned to that classification for their entire life. Employers demanded loyalty. This idea of work has well crossed its expiry date.
That is not the case anymore. Capital is available to those who aspire and have the ability to create. Digital Technology facilitates global connection in realtime. With the advent of Digital Technologies catalyzed by Pervasive Computing and Orchestrated through enmeshed networks, every aspect of Work is primed for disruption.

Preparedness is the Key

It’s an interesting conundrum. When we ask people if they have enough talent, they almost universally say no. Then they go back to looking at KPIs [key performance indicators] for that quarter’s performance. We’ve created a managerial system and reporting mechanism that disproportionately focus on financial capital, not human capital. Leaders haven’t spent nearly enough time asking, “What are the critical roles? What are the critical skills?” They need to reboot how they lead, with equal, if not greater, emphasis on the scarce capital—human capital.
