Future of work: The augmented workforce

The nature of work and the workforce is changing rapidly, driven by the acceleration of connectivity and cognitive technologies. Almost every job is being reinvented as the workplace evolves to a flexible workforce augmented by software, robots, crowds, and artificial intelligence. Deloitte has been at the forefront of chronicling this trend and working with employers to navigate the future of work. Deloitte is helping organizations understand this new, augmented workforce and the changes they must implement, from the way they design jobs and organize work to how they think about workforce and skills planning. On January 18, 2017, Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Leader, Brett Walsh, and Matthew Bishop, senior editor, The Economist Group explored the role of people and technology in shaping the workplace of the future.
