The future of work to me and especially in GE digital is about transformation
so if I could put it in one single word in
response it would be agility
You know we really truly care what is the experience employees are having at work
The future of work is really people performing tasks
that are relevant to what the business
needs that may not be easy to define in
a single job and moving from role to
role or task to task based on their
skills and the organisation's needs in a
much more dynamic way
What is the experience employees are having at work they're spending so much time there
and in thinking about how we can use data and programs and just different things and think differently
about that and less about the "well we've always done it this way for HR." How do we create these
amazing delightful experiences for our
employees to make their work look
totally different because the bar keeps
getting raised
I think for me the future work has much less to do with how are you going to create and craft culture
what are you going to do with engagement
and it's much more about agility how can
we create an environment where we can
respond as fast as the world around us
in order to drive business leverage as a
whole.
It's become a buzzword but to me what it really means is redefining the jobs, the roles, the activities, the tasks
that we do in the business setting in a
contemporary way around the technologies
and the organisations that we work in
and because of all the automation and AI
and software that we now have in all
jobs - it doesn't matter what they are
the traditional idea of a job where you
go into a job and you apply for a job
and you do that job is going away.
The bigger piece is how will our talent continually transform with the industry and with the speed
the skills are the fastest disappearing and reappearing commodity that there is and the ability
for talent to be able to 
transform with that I think is one of
the most salient features of the future
of work and it's the one thing that won't
change no matter how far into the future
we go.
