Every time conversations about the future of work come up, the focus seems to always be drawn towards jobs and technological unemployment (or employment). Everyone is concerned with the job of the future and if in fact there will be jobs in the future. Naturally this is understandable.
Still, I feel "the future of work" is much broader in scope than just looking at jobs. Behaviors, management style, demographics, and globalization are all rising themes in the future of work, among many others. Communication and collaboration are also a huge area of focus. That being said, I want to know what you think about when you hear the phrase "future of work." What do this phrase actually mean to you? Does this conjure up robots and automation? Perhaps this makes think about workplace flexibility and autonomy? Use #AskTheFuturist on Twitter to share your thoughts. You can also use the hashtag to ask me a question for a future episode. I'm very curious to read your responses!
