The Future of Work: Navigating the Pivot with Heather McGowan
Descripción del Episodio
The times of relying on outdated methods of working your way up the corporate ladder are ending, ushering in a new era of work that requires leaders to prepare their people and organizations for unprecedented changes. The gig economy is rising, with independent contractors filling labor shortages and creating opportunities for more flexible working arrangements. Automation and artificial intelligence are transforming the way we work, shifting the balance of power between employers and employees. To stay competitive in this changing landscape, leaders must develop strategies to attract and retain talent while also leveraging technology to drive innovation.
In this episode with Heather McGowan, we talk about everything you need to know about the future of work and how you can be better prepared for the pivot. McGowan is an author, advisor, and keynote speaker. She speaks at more than 75 events per year to companies from finance to consumer products to education to government agencies to media organizations—virtually every industry sector that engages humans. McGowan holds an undergraduate degree in industrial design from Rhode Island School of Design, an MBA from Babson College, and an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts from Pennsylvania College of Art and Design.
Listen in to learn why McGowan believes that in the Third Industrial Revolution, we learned (once) in order to work, and now, in the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we will work in order to learn (continuously).
