Globalization, innovation, disruption, technological evolution, data explosion—the world of work has forever changed. Combining all these elements is a powerful structural transformation in countries and organizations. These changes will impact us all, and how we’ll shift from goods to services—with the rise of robots, algorithmic power to reduce work, and demographic transitions with Millennials moving into leadership and Boomers moving on.
This new way of working involves flexibility, short-term contracts, and an “anytime anywhere” workforce, creating new opportunities for organizations and career navigation. While work has changed, some career planning models still have remnants from the past—micromanaging production and promotions based on tenure. To keep up with changing demographics and employees’ ambitions, organizations are shifting toward individual career ownership and finding purpose at work.
