Here's what caught my eye.
Top predictions for 2018 regarding the structure of work:
#1
There will be an increased focus on infrastructures-- such as social networks and wikis-- to support building strong relationships and collaboration.
#2
The structure of work will become more adaptive, more informal and less focused on formal structure and static design solutions.
#3 [a five-way tie!]
"Agile" organizations will have survived rampant aggregation and consolidation, and all organizations will be developing greater agility.
There will be greater demands on HR professionals to be businesspeople, with competencies in finding and retaining talent and in managing contract and freelance workers.
Organizations will have the ability to personalize the employee value proposition, helping employees find value in the work they do based on how they interact with the company. Some employees will be full time and long term. Others will be short term and part time.
Flexibility will no longer be optional. Employees will expect to utlize both short- and long-term flexibility options to meet their needs.
The most successful organizations will have a performance culture or meritocracy and will demand extraordinary effort from those who wish to achieve leadership positions.
Top predicitions for 2018 regarding work and society:
#1
Societies throughout the world will focus on work as a more important crucible for social progress and values. The memory of today's financial crisis will leave a legacy of greater scrutiny and regulation of issues such as fairness, pay diffefrentials and wthics, particularly in traditional Western economies.
#2
Millennials will redefine work, doing work at home and taking home to work. This means blurring the boundaries of life and work. More workforce mobility will allow people to work from home and at different hours.
#3
There will be more emphasis on collaboration and using technology to support it.
