The Future of Work: How Flexibility Unlocks Potential for People and Organizations

Monday Oct 24 / 05:25PM PDT, Seacliff ABC

Abstract

The last two years created a massive discontinuity in how we work, and now the debate rages: are we going back to the way things were, or investing to move forward? For many, the era of toiling nine-to-five, five-days-a-week in the office is being replaced by a better way — flexible work. But achieving true flexibility -- not only in where but critically when people work -- requires overcoming decades of habits and conventional wisdom built up around “the right way to work” based on 9-to-5 days full of meetings in office buildings. It requires redesigning how work gets done: new ways of working, new skills, and new strengths. The “battle for talent” is facing off against economic headwinds – what’s going to enable your organization not just just survive, but thrive and win in the new era of flexible work? We'll use research and case studies to describe how leaders across industries can redesign work to build better outcomes for people and organizations.
