Recommendation

Future of work experts Heather E. McGowan and Chris Shipley argue that while technology may be the engine for massive change, humans remain in the driver’s seat. Only people have the “organic cognition” required for creativity, collaboration and adaptation. Acknowledging a new era of unprecedented uncertainty, McGowan and Shipley posit a future in which humans share knowledge and build meaningful workplace cultures.

Take-Aways

  • Technology is transforming the world of work faster than ever.
  • Technological augmentation, atomization and automation mean you must  upskill and reskill for the future.
  • Don’t tether your identity to your job; rather, think in terms of skills.
