"In the Future, Work Will be Something You Are, Not What You Do" Says Leading Business Futurist Marvin Dejean
Acclaimed business futurist, and best-selling author, Marvin Dejean will be the main speaker at HRPBC’s February Kick off Dinner event on Thursday February 21st, 2013. Dejean will speak about the future of work and how organizations must prepare for the seismic shift that has begun to change our very notion of a job in a globally connected and networked world.
Coral Springs, FL, February 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Leading business futurist Marvin Dejean, the CEO of Gilead Sanders a business futurist consulting firm, will be the main speaker at HRPBC’s February Kick Off Dinner event on Thursday February 21st, 2013 from 6:00 PM-8:00 PM at the West Palm Beach Embassy Suites located at 1601 Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach, FL.
Dejean’s topic “2020: The New Work Order: The Future of Work & Organizations” will provide insights about the changing nature of the workplace and how shifting expectations, radical new technologies and the rise of the “solopreneur” are redefining the millennium-old concept of work and how things will get done in the future.
“The very notion of work as a physical place with delineated time schedules has already begun to give way to flat organizations that are using hyper-connected platforms to leverage a knowledge-based workforce. Work as we know it is transforming and becoming integrated with who we are and soon will no longer be something we do. The Corporation will become an extension of ourselves, and as a result whole hierarchies will begin to shift,” states Dejean.
Many organizations and governments have begun to change their thinking toward what they predict will be a revolutionary shift of the nature of work and how it will be accomplished in the future. The Aspen Institute in its 2011 report entitled “The Future of Work: What It Means For Individuals, Businesses, Markets and Governments” provides radical insights from leading thinkers, entrepreneurs and business strategists from various fields about the emerging trends of work and organizations in the global marketplace. Their predictions foreshadow sweeping changes in the future:
"The job is a 300-year-old institution that's going away. People will become more like independent contractors," states David Houle, a leading Futurist, thinker and speaker about the coming Shift Age.
“If firms don’t visualize what their futures look like and begin to make the changes that are necessary, those firms may cease to exist as we know them. We need a vision of what these firms should look like and how to transform
our existing organizations.” –Dwayne Spradlin, CEO of InnoCentive Inc.
“Large organizations as traditionally structured, may simply be inadequate to meeting the myriad needs and structural realities of our time” - John Rendon, CEO of The Rendon Group Inc.
“Crowdsourcing has become a full-fledged business model for some companies….. and firms of the 21st Century will mostly be about talent management.” - David Bollier, for The Aspen Institute
Dejean will speak about some of these trends and others that are emerging as dominant threads in many large and mid-sized organizations. His talk will focus on practical applications that companies and government agencies can begin implementing to create distributed-work environments that focus on value-driven outcomes.
Dejean is the author of the upcoming book, “The DNA of Reinvention: A Blueprint for Unleashing the Future of Organizations” and a recurring keynote and seminar speaker for countless organizations and companies seeking to gain a keen understanding of the new rules reshaping the business landscape, consumer and employee expectations and the new competitive blueprint. His past clientele include Kaplan University, Marcum LLP, HRPBC, The Palm Beach Matchmaker & Business Expo, The Greater Miami Society of Human Resources Professional, The Miami-Dade Coalition on Aging, ARCA Capital Investments, The School Board of Broward County and, the PRSA Sunshine District Conference and others.
In his capacity as a business futurist, he helps countless businesses and organizations design a clear roadmap to gain a competitive edge in the New Economy by focusing on The “Four Pillars” of Technology, Innovation, People, and Processes (TIP2).
