Lynda Gratton outlines The Future of Work based on findings from an ongoing research experiment initiated in October 2009.  The first phase of the research engaged over 200 senior executives from the world’s leading global corporations who shared their thoughts on the way we will be working in 2020. The purpose of the research project is to develop real and tangible tools that can be applied in organisations to support a radically different way of working.

By attending this webinar or others in the series you will be participating in the largest ongoing research project of its kind in the world. All attendees will receive an executive summary of the research results


Understanding the forces that shape the way we work - Prepare yourselves for the
future

In this webinar Lynda describes how organisations today face some of the greatest challenges in the history of business as social, political, and trading conditions rapidly change. The key drivers are a recessionary environment, an ageing workforce, worker mobility vs the requirements of a low carbon society, globalization and the rapid pace of technological development. All of these drivers will affect the way we work, and the shape of future organisations.

By attending this webinar you will get answers to the following questions:

1) How do organisations support the development of a leadership pool which is ‘future proofed’?

2) How will we work when five billion people are connected all the time?

3) What will free computing power mean to those doing business?

4) How will we work when the world population moves to cities?

5) What will be the impact of oil price rise and carbon tax on the way we work

6) How do we create the optimum team structures when the world is going virtual?

7) What business models will be prevalent?

8) What will the role of HR be in the Future of Work?
