Open the Future

Open the Future

The future of work vision by Podio « The art of life and work There’s ample debate today around the need for a change in the way we work and how the future of work will look like. The reasons for this topic to be increasingly talked of usually come to reasons such as: the tools we currently use fail to really help us get work done in a context of increasing uncertainty, change & need for greater collaboration, both inside and outside company boundariesthe disengagement and energy drain of employees is affecting all sorts of organizationsa younger generation is entering the workforce with different expectations regarding the workplace I’m very passionate about the theme of the future of work maybe because I feel reason #1 often and because I’ve seen reason #2 happen a lot. I first came across Podio at the Dachis Group Social Business Summit in London in 2011, and later saw lots of buzz on their Future of Work tour around the US and Europe, though not Portugal. Podio’s motto is “change the way we work, one app at the time” and they seem to mean it.

Students for Free Culture What’s your X? Amplifying technology moonshots Last week, we ran an experiment. We hosted a gathering, called “Solve for X,” for experienced entrepreneurs, innovators and scientists from around the world. The event focused on proposing and discussing technological solutions to some of the world’s greatest problems. The Solve for X gathering, which we co-hosted with Eric Schmidt, is a place to celebrate a concept we champion internally and that we believe will inspire many others: technology moonshots. Moonshots can come from anywhere—people of all ages and places, companies, academia, inspired experts, enthusiastic newcomers, and often from accidental discoveries. You can watch these videos and others on our site now, and we will add more in the coming week. Our gathering last week brought together a group that is already practiced at moonshot thinking to propose specific solutions.

Welcome » The Document Foundation The Edge Becomes The Core A couple of weeks ago, I had a discussion with colleague Joe on the program for one of our upcoming main Innotribe events. My colleague is not part of the innovation team, but has shown growing interest in what we are doing: great! Joe is known in the company as rather a conservative, cautious person, making decisions on data and not feelings. Taking into account my manager’s request to start dancing with the company, I decided to use a different approach and asked Joe what sort of innovations got him excited. At first sight, this seems to be about different perceptions on what is important based on time-criticality of the innovations. But then, another colleague Jamie, said it was also about being used to think in abstract concepts. The whole discussion made me think, and I started making some notes on what was going on. In my opinion, there are 3 forces at work, all on the same continuum, and more or less the same scale: Time horizonLevel of abstractionLevel of disruption And Like this:
