Collaborative Future

How organizations identify, hire, retain and work with external advocates, associates and consultants  can become a strength or a weakness of the organization.

 

Workplace Culture:

Workplace culture thrives in the attitudes of employees, in the setting of goals and in the communication of values to associates and customers. “Your brand is only a promise – the culture either fulfills or breaks that promise.”

Engagement and productivity:

How organizations affect the engagement level of an employee are inherently different from how they build engagement among contractors, consultants and remote-working.  It is important to be adaptable and intentional about experimenting, understanding and focusing on what works.

Recruitment and on-boarding:

Organizations will need to adapt and find more effective ways of recruiting talent, and how to make it easier and more effective to hire external advocates and consultants.

Technology:

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer an option for companies.

Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI,” now, he sees artificial intelligence as a relatively imminent “existential threat.” Martin Heidegger,  draws attention to technology’s place in bringing about our decline by constricting our experience of things as they are.
