The Future of Work

International Lime Association General Assembly 2018 — Part 1

MINDS & MACHINES

The future of work is shaped by a profound transformation, driven by the meshing of the digital and the physical world, by new design and production techniques, and a seismic shift in the role that human will play in the production process.

This is changing the face of industry as we know it.

HUMANS

Technological progress will push a growing share of the workforce toward creativity and intellectual activities, where humans have a clear comparative advantage over machines.

The global brain, .. in the sense of the collective intelligence of human beings across the globe integrated by digital communication networks, will grow bigger and more powerful as more and more people gain access to education and to the Internet, becoming able to both tap the global stock of knowledge and contribute to it.

DIGITAL WORKFORCE

The Industrial Internet is leveraging the power of big data to create a new generation of digital workforce that are predictive, reactive and able to communicate with each other and with us.

To attend its duties, the digital workforce shall be equipment with a set of Digital Competence, in the sense of the set of knowledge, skills, attitudes, abilities and strategies, that are required when we are using Information and Communications Technology and digital media.

WORKS WITH MOSAICO

The Industrial Internet is leveraging the power of connected machine, big data, and the humans expertise, to create a new generation of digital workforce.

In QualiCal we created a digital workforce that ... WORKs with MOSAICO! a much more flexible workplace, where you can take advantage of the people inside and outside your organisation, where analytics and modelling have the power to give people more opportunities to experiment and improve their ability to make decisions.

CONCLUSION

Digital innovation It is transforming many aspects of the workplace: how work is organised, the type of work we do, the workforce itself and why, when and where people work.

That’s not to say we should throw away all of the good disciplines and practices of running a business … but some elements of leadership will require different competencies. For example, creativity and social skills will become more highly prized competencies.

Organisations are fundamentally changing their approach to the workplace.

Innovative digital solutions are enabling employees to collaborate across functions and regions, to make strategic decisions at a local level and to use data to make real-time changes which can improve productivity.

Leaders have to be enthusiastic about learning how to adapt to this fast pace of change. Flexible working needs to be combined with new, innovative technologies because you can’t adopt flexible or collaborative working without the relevant technology to support it.

Building a Digital workforce is a journey that will be built along with a complete new Digital MindSet.

Digital is going to allow us to tap into workers anytime, anywhere.

People may be willing to work in a much more flexible way, and because the pace of change will be so fast, the ability to learn and cope with this level of ambiguity will determine the success of industry today … your industry today !!!
