The document discusses the future of work and how it will challenge conventional structures. It notes that employees will no longer be "cogs" and managers will no longer be "slave drivers" as work becomes more flexible. It also suggests that organizations must adapt to remain relevant, as talented employees will have more options and loyalty will shift away from companies. New technologies will also change how work gets done and organizations will need to deploy these tools successfully to transform their operations for the future.

THE FUTURE
GUIDE TO
OF WORK

2. The future of work is all about
challenging convention
around how employees work,
how managers lead, and how
companies are structured.
If you don’t think about and plan for the
future of work then your organization
will have no future.

3. An employee is a cog
A manager is a slave driver
Work is drudgery

7. The speed of change has never been
greater
Disruption is happening across every
industry and geography
The world has never been more
connected

8. These trends are causing a change in who guides how work gets
done. We are shifting from a top down to a bottom up structure.
Dan Pink describes this perfectly when he says “talented people
need organizations less than organizations need talented
people.”

9. EMPLOYEES
ARE NO LONGER COGS

10. Commuted to work every morning
Used company technology
Followed the dress code
Did what they were told and didn’t ask any questions
Sat in cubicles
Did their same tasks over and over and over

12. Only 13% of employees are engaged
at work
- Gallup
43% of employees frequently think about
quitting their jobs
- Kelly Outsourcing and Consulting
Heart attacks most common on Monday
as employees dread going back to work!
- New York Times Article, “The Claim:
Heart Attacks Are More Common on Mondays”

And now we have a new workplace dynamic, millennials are
going to be the majority of the workforce by 2020 and 75% of
the workforce by 2025! Gen Z is slowly emerging as
well.

15. This is what the future employee looks
like and how they will work

16. This is what the evolution of work
look like for employees.

17. MANAGERS ARE NO LONGER
“SLAVE-DRIVERS”

18. Annual employee reviews
Hierarchies and org charts
Focusing on inputs
Managers control all the information
If it isn’t broken don’t fix it!

19. Most of the people who created the
management practices and
approaches we use today in our
organizations are no longer alive yet
we still build our companies on
outdated thinking.

20. 1. To forecast and plan
2. To organize
3. To command or direct
4. To coordinate
5. To develop output
6. To control
This sounds exactly like present day management
except Fayol developed these functions in the 1800’s!

21. This is what the future manager looks
like and how they will lead

22. This is what the evolution of work
looks like for managers.

23. Some companies are getting rid of managers all together,
so how does anything get done?

24. ORGANIZATIONS
OF THE FUTURE

25. According to Innosight, by 2027, 75% of the
S&P 500 are going to be replaced.

26. Loyalties have shifted away from organizations to teams, managers, or
projects.
There is no such thing as lifetime or long-term employment anymore.
Average employee tenure for millennials is under 3 years and the overall
average is under 5 years.
Employees care more about more than just money. They value flexibility,
meaningful work, mentoring and training, and impacting the world.
Self-starter opportunities exist everywhere whether it be raising money on
Indiegogo or Gofundme, working as a freelancer on Elance-Odesk, or going to
work for Uber or Lyft as a driver.
Smaller growing companies are challenging the larger behemoths.
The future workforce is growing up skeptical as they saw their parents get
laid off or suffer through unpleasant work experiences.

27. This is what the future organization
looks like and how they will operate.

28. This is what the evolution of the
(pt. 1)
organization looks like

29. This is what the evolution of the
(pt. 2)
organization looks like

30. Technology acts as the central nervous system for the future
organization. Specifically collaboration technologies.
So how do organizations deploy these technologies
successfully?

31. How do organizations adapt to the
FUTURE OF WORK?

33. Remember, if you don’t think
about and plan for the future of
work than your organization
has
no future!
