The Future of Work: Employee Brainpower
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
The future’s most profound changes will not be in technology but in power. The Industrial Age featured an economy driven by manufacturing and producing tangible things like cars. Former Google and Facebook executive and bestselling author, Marissa Orr, points out that in today’s knowledge economy, the most successful companies no longer make widgets, with physical parts stored in a warehouse and owned by the company. Supply today consists of employee brainpower; companies no longer own the majority of their supply, employees do. To succeed in the next technological revolution, companies must rethink how they structure, engage, reward, and retain their most valuable asset: people. With incisive wit and relatable stories, Orr offers a simple framework to help companies prepare, adapt, and succeed in tomorrow’s economy.
