What's coming next for today's workforce, and the companies behind them? For those eager and willing to adapt, the possibilities are nearly endless, according to author Gerard Szatvanyi. Recent advances in technology have led to new trends, and this global transformation holds tremendous potential. Nearly every industry will be impacted, and organizations that set the right vision could benefit from breaking into new markets and pioneering the creation of specialized niches. Organizations have the chance to make the most of AI solutions to equip team members and uplevel their skills. Along the way, they'll need to think through the purpose of the office. It will also become increasingly important to follow smart protocols when hiring virtually and to take care as they operate in new regions to make sure these places align with their values.
As AI moves into the lives of everyday workers, companies can be assured that the human touch will still be essential. Even as machine learning and automation reduce the need for intense labor, team members will be tasked with higher level responsibilities, including the job of supervising AI and making final decisions. Firms can expect to see benefits ranging from increased productivity, higher rates of worker satisfaction, improved efficiencies, and the potential to produce new revenue streams from specialized products and services.
With more than 20 years of experience in the tech industry, Szatvanyi has long been fascinated with digital solutions and their impact. Moreover, he's a champion for bringing in the human connection, recognizing that the best implementations occur when executives first peel back the perceived restrictions and ask, "What if" questions. Having an open mind and a willingness to think differently could help organizations reduce the risk of getting disrupted and instead, increase their chances to gain - and hold - a strong position in their respective industries.
