“Building Change Capability: Head, Heart and Hands”

“The future of work is not just about automation and artificial intelligence, it’s about how businesses utilize AI, robotics, machine learning and other technologies to create new opportunities for workers,” said Dee Anthony, ISG director and host of the ISG Future Workplace Summit, , in New York City. “To help prevent job loss, enterprises must train employees in new skills and technologies.”

ISG and industry experts participating in the ISG Future Workplace Summit will explore a range of topics over the course of the two-day event, including adaptive organizations, technology-driven productivity, employee experience, the environmental impact of hybrid working, and strategies for building change resiliency and change capability into an organization’s culture.

“It’s important for today’s workers to think about the future of their careers. What skills do they need? How will jobs and the nature of work change? How can they prepare themselves with new technologies?” Anthony said. “One way to increase productivity is by ‘inspecting what you expect.’ Technology and training can help enterprises and employees measure productivity for both structured and unstructured work performed synchronously or asynchronously.”
