Diana Wu David: What will work life look like in 2031?
from The Indispensable Conversation · host James M. Kerr
That's just 10 years from now! This question is about the future of work. It's a question about the professional work settings that today's 6th Grade Middle School students will face when they graduate from college? If innovation and technology continues to rule how work is done, are we heading towards a business world with few rules, one where an budding market of specialists and niche players emerge and rule the day? Do we expect that large corporations, thirsty for highly productive human assets, push past the limits of human ability by investing in augmentation technology, medication and implants -- just to give their people the edge? We explore these questions with my guest Diana Wu David on this episode of The Indispensable Conversation. Diana started her career working on high level strategy as a management consultant and as an assistant to Dr. Henry Kissinger at Kissinger Associates. She is also a former Financial Times executive, author of Future Proof: Reinventing Work in an Age of Acceleration and an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School’s EMBA Global Asia. Diana is absolutely the "right guest" to explore the "Future of Work" issue with me.
