WORKPLACE OF THE FUTURE

*Robots *Verbots *Avatars *IA, *AI *Holograms & MORE….is the future STAR TREK or STAR WARS OR MINORITY REPORT? “in the years ahead more than 90 million jobs in a labor force of 124 million are vulnerable to replacement by machines” Jeremy Rifkin THE END OF WORK

FUTUREWORK: 5 TRENDS

*#`1 THE WORD CAREER IS OUTDATED!“…the reality is the old-fashioned notion of a career

doesn’t exist anymore. In fact, the word “career” is as outdated as the word “typewriter”.

The truths evident are: Re-Careering and Multi-Careering, Faith Popcorn, author CLICKING.

TREND #2

• CUBICLE IS DEAD WOOD ….instead think *Tele-Immersion!

Trend #3 End of Conference calls –start virtual conferences

• Teleportec Inc. enables personnel to demo products and link to remote offices. Teleris Ltd. Features a virtual GlobalTable…new way for F2F meetings…videoconferencing $7.6 Billion annually…..

TREND #4 Desk Is “beamed-up”

• THE WORD DESK IS OUT! THINK ABOUT THE HELM OF A SPACESHIP – command center….or the “Bridge” on Star-Trek….and think about it all being portable and virtual!

Trend #5 END OF EMPLOYEES:
