Welcome to Forbes. If You Think 3D Printing Is Disruptive, Wait for 4D - Tech Europe. Agence France-Presse/Getty Images 3D printing will have a direct economic impact of between $230 and $550 billion a year in 2025, according to a report by McKinsey & Company.
Every now and then you come across a technology, or a mooted technology, that sounds so far-fetched, so outlandish that it belongs with proper flying cars and the paperless office. Things that will never happen. The idea of “printing” objects, so-called 3D printing once seemed pretty outlandish but it has already made the voyage from science fiction to startup. According to a recent report by analysts McKinsey & Company, “Disruptive technologies: Advances that will transform life, business, and the global economy,” 3D printing will have a direct economic impact of between $230 billion and $550 billion a year in 2025. Three keys if you want to become a more data-driven organization. So you've bought into it - Big Data, Moneyball for HR, workforce analytics - all of it.
And whatever you call this increased reliance on data, analysis, and more objective information in your talent processes, chances are this represents a pretty significant change to the way you've always done business, how managers and leaders have made decisions, and perhaps most importantly how you evaluate and reward employees.

Set Boundaries on the Sacrifices You'll Make for Work - Bill Barnett - Harvard Business Review. Charting technology’s new directions: A conversation with MIT’s Erik Brynjolfsson. “We’re finally getting at that seminal moment in human history when we can talk to our machines and our machines will understand us in regular, natural language,” says Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor Erik Brynjolfsson.
In this video, he explores the role of big data in business performance, the rise of robotics, and the decoupling of the historical relationship between gains in productivity, incomes, and jobs. He is the coauthor, with MIT research scientist Andrew McAfee, of Race Against the Machine (Digital Frontier Press, October 2011). Why I have issues with Mark Zuckerberg’s FWD.us. Facebook founder and chief executive Mark Zuckerberg launched Fwd.us in a Washington Post opinion piece Thursday, a new group that is lobbying for a new approach to immigration in the U.S.
He is joined by some Silicon Valley power houses — John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, Dropbox’s Drew Houston and scores of others, including many Facebook alumni. In a carefully crafted piece for our capital city’s home paper, Zuckerberg told the story of his family. He talks about U.S. being left behind. (13) Peter H. Diamandis - Google+ - Creating a Company without Employees: Philip Rosedale on… The Reality of What Makes Silicon Valley Tick - Marina Gorbis. For any one of us, the “reality” of a situation is just what we choose to pay attention to.
Take the wonderful experiment a few years ago when renowned violinist Joshua Bell played for tips in the subway. Thousands of people rushed through that busy metro station barely noticing what seemed to be yet another poor musician on the platform. Their reality was the noise and the myriad annoyances that go with crowds of people jostling to get to trains. A few stopped in their tracks and listened in awe. Same place, same time — two different realities. The same goes for a complex place like Silicon Valley. The Coolest Co-Working Space We've Ever Seen.

A lamp by MacArthur "genius" Jorge Pardo hangs above the conference table. Pardo's lamp draws in the bright colors of Rose's mural. The future of work is to freelance within an organisation - choose your task, assemble to work, then dissolve. The future of work thinking, or real enterprise 2.0 thinking covers many points in the shift of current organisational design; just ask Jon Husband , Gary Hamel and Deb Lavoy .
John Hagel describes this knowledge worker 2.0 shift well: In those days, the role of the individual was to follow instructions. That’s why you often had big binders full of instructions at large companies… …it’s about providing individuals with the power to connect, so that they can address things rapidly and do local problem solving. This new landscape challenges the basic core assumptions of management. Corporations that grew up in 20th century were organizations where the blueprint was to define in advance how the individual was to fit in. Yep employees want meaning and purpose , they want to connect and have impact, they want to belong and feel ownership , they want autonomy to make decisions (self-manage, create tasks)…a move from extraction to engagement . Architect Frank Gehry Builds on Virtues of Play. It’s an occupational hazard of architecture that students will burst from school into the profession filled with vim to stamp their own creative visions on the physical world only to find themselves 10 years later in a cubicle specifying screw sizes for doorjambs.
And if someone does invite them to propose an imaginative design, the client’s objections to aesthetics, to costs, to pragmatism, can lead the architect to water it down until the essence is gone. Discouraging. About 47 percent of architects are unhappy in their profession, some of that due to this kind of letdown. But imagine you are Frank Gehry, creator of some of the most bizarre visions the world of architecture has ever known. He’s been amazingly successful in getting those radical visions built. Corridors of the Mind - ARCHITECTS HAVE BEEN talking for years about “biophilic” design, “evidence based” design, design informed by the work of psychologists.
But last May, at the profession’s annual convention, John Zeisel and fellow panelists were trying to explain neuroscience to a packed ballroom. The late-afternoon session pushed well past the end of the day; questions just kept coming. It was a scene, Zeisel marveled—all this interest in neuroscience—that would not have taken place just a few years earlier. The Future of Work. Hard at Work in the Jobless Future. Jobs are disappearing, but there’s still a future for work.
An investment manager looks at how automation and information technology are changing the economic landscape and forcing workers to forge new career paths beyond outdated ideas about permanent employment. Futurists have long been following the impacts of automation on jobs—not just in manufacturing, but also increasingly in white-collar work. Those in financial services, for example, are being lost to software algorithms, and intelligent computers.
. * Coworking As An Evolutionary Tool [Video] Coworking has hit its stride. No longer an optimistic idea on the fringes of workplace life, coworking spaces have proven themselves to be hotbeds of collaboration, acceleration and spontaneous creation. Entrepreneurs, freelancers, small business owners and other independents all benefit from the structure, network, community and momentum that coworking provides. There's also a deeper, more personal dimension to coworking: it offers an opportunity for people to better themselves and to make a difference in their world. HBR Celebrates Its Graveyard Of Obsolete Management Ideas. Get ready for the coming employment roller coaster — Cloud Computing News. The Shrinking Lump of Labor. John Markoff has a fascinating long article in Sunday’s New York Times about the ever-greater capabilities of today’s industrial robots (and I don’t just say nice things about the piece because Markoff quotes from Race Against the Machine).
He reports from places as diverse as a Philips factory in Holland, the plant where Tesla roadsters are made in California, and a grocery warehouse in Newburgh, New York. In these and other facilities, he observes the same trend; robots and other modern machinery doing tasks that until quite recently used to be done by humans. Speakers for WORKTECH 12 West Coast.

The globalisation of work - and people. 6 September 2012Last updated at 19:18 ET Viewpoint by Prof Lynda Gratton Director, Future of Work Consortium Little big planet: As a result of connectivity and globalisation millions of jobs across the world are disappearing, according to Lynda Gratton What is fundamentally transforming work is extraordinary connectivity.
In the near future, at least five billion people around the world will use some form of mobile device to download information, access knowledge and coach and teach each other. Some will have the intellectual capacity and motivation to really make something of this opportunity, wherever they happen to be born. These people will want to join the global talent pool and, if possible, migrate to creative and vibrant cities. Hot Spots Movement - Future of Work blog - A Framework for Commercial Transformation. Self-Employed Workers Sustain Small Economies. When the economy tanked, both existing jobs and the promise of creating more faded with it. Thousands of people with "job security" were laid off only to find that companies weren't hiring, or weren't willing to pay for their 15 years of experience. So the workforce got creative.
