How can you get involved in this groundbreaking project?
This research is supported by the Singapore Government’s Ministry of Manpower and will include companies from across the world. Since we launched the consortium, some great companies from across the world have signed up. These include :the UK’s National Health Service; the Japanese electronics multinational Fujitsu; the telecom company Colt; the financial institute Avusa, which is headquartered in South Africa; the retailer Marks & Spencer; the US multinational software company CSC; and Save the Children. Over the next month we will continue to build the membership of the consortium to create a dynamic and creative network.
In order to meet the fast-cycle time for the research we will be using four methodologies:
- A community of practice: we will invite each company to nominate a leader and a number of people who will actively become involved in the consortium. Our hope is that this will include Gen X youngsters: this community of practice will be crucial to the identification of innovative practices. We will also create a stronger sense of community with an onsite event.
- Discursive Groupware: we will be using our learning portal as a conduit for conversation and information exchange across the member companies.
- Webinars: we will arrange a number of webinar presentations to share the findings and to enable participants to engage in conversations about the future.
- Innovation research: we plan to conduct interviews with a small number of executives in each company to explore the routines that help organisations gain legitimacy for new lines of activity and to adopt innovative organisational practices quickly and effectively.
Membership of the research consortium will give you:
- access to the consortium’s portal which will link you in with peers from all participating companies
- a series of webinars in which we will share and discuss the emerging findings about the future of work
- an invitation to two half-day workshops in London where you can meet members of the community
- a series of case studies describing how companies are preparing themselves for the future
- a detailed analysis of how prepared your own company is to accept and embrace innovative practices
- access to the final report about the future of work
- a copy of the presentation which you can then use in your own company to build awareness and understanding.
