Shift+Alt+Work - Skills Based Organisations and an evolved HR Operating Model

Details of the session

The future of work is framed by either an AI-controlled dystopia, unmovable raging capitalism that will eat itself, or a statement like "The Future is Human". In reality, it's likely to be neither dystopia or utopia and more protopia. Incremental, gradual, almost unnoticed and gradual evolution.

An increasing school of thought about the future of work is a shift that ushers in the demise of the job. Not work of course, but the boxed-up, predictably framed construct we hire to and then rarely consider again. Instead, enter the Skills-Based Organisation. And with it, the need for a more dynamic and evolved HR Operating Model.
