This will be a great
opportunity to listen to a presentation that provides fresh information
on new trends affecting how we work. From the “right now” to the “far
out,” from technology to demographics to the evolving workplace, the
discussion gives participants a brief look at what might change and how
that may affect people now in the workforce as well as the next
generation of workers.“Trend Watch” provides a sweeping look at the big
picture—and some of the details—shaping work today and tomorrow.
Learning Objectives:
Provide context through a look at five macro forces that are
affecting trends:
1) Vanishing Boundaries
2) Connectedness
3) Design
4) Globalization
5) Convergence.
Examine key trends
in technology, demographics, workforce models, culture, and other
aspects of a fluid “landscape” that are affecting the workplace.
Discuss the
implications these trends have for shaping the office of the future in terms of the likelihood of multiple futures, the “place versus presence” tradeoff, the desire for personalization, the embrace of alternative work styles, the emphasis on health and well-being, and the shift in attitudes about sustainability.
