So many interesting points. I especially liked the section on "trends to watch." I couldn't agree more. I just published a piece on a similar topic where I conducted a thought experiment on the future of work with an AI-powered workforce vs. legacy workers. https://www.futureskillpro.com/p/workforce-stratification-the-new
I've been pondering alot around the "Decentralised work infrastructure for effective work-matching".
It's been so much back and forth around this but at some point in time the old paradigm must surley go away? Monster was replaced by LinkedIn etc. I think this is a crucial step to truly unlock most of the other points as well.
Hi Johannes, many thanks! I think (hope) that internet-era business models where we give our data away for free, then digital landlords charge us back for it will evolve. How this will evolve is interesting - will it be Big Tech giving everyone decentralised wallets to use, or will a start-up come along and disrupt how we recruit aka LinkedIn many years ago. 6 years ago I wrote a paper with Don Tapscott on a vision for a decentralised work-matching infrastructure. I think my critique of the industry holds up, and of course the disruptors have changed over the years...its a PDF report you can read here -> https://workforcefuturist.substack.com/p/blockchain-and-the-chro-transforming
As always Andy, a lot of food for thought. I like the way you challenge the solopreneur path, wity your "Unleashing the decentralised Workforce" graphic as a constellation.
I have found the biggest challenge for a better view of the Future of Work, as I write and speak around, is to set apart work and employment. To limit oneself to work, via jobs only, is to miss today and in the near future the best part of the market.
Completely agree Volney! People tend to lump Jobs and Work together, and it's unhelpful. There are many ways to get work done that are not delivered by a J.O.B
