This is the third installment in a series on the future of work, taking a deep dive into our traditional view of jobs and what organizations will look like in the future. Every assumption we have about work, jobs, workplace, employers, security, and preparation for careers is being called into question. The thesis of the series is that we are in a massive shift in how we work and how organizations function, recently accelerated by the pandemic and today driven by technology with AI at the point of the spear. Work for most of us will never be the same again. Those who learn and adapt the fastest will be the winners. Join us at The Care Transformation Studio in exploring this new world. Your thoughts, reactions, and challenges are invited.

This is the first in a series on the future of work, taking a deep dive into our traditional view of work and what jobs and organizations will look like in the future. This post focuses on the macro trends driving the future of work. Every assumption we have about work, jobs, workplace, employers, security, and preparation for careers is being called into question. The thesis of this series is that we are in a massive shift in how we work and how organizations function, driven by technology and accelerated by the pandemic. It is about much more than a return to the office . . . work for most of us will never be the same again. Those who learn and adapt the fastest will be the winners.

My resolve to contribute to the improvement of the healthcare system has never been greater. Could we be overlooking a significant obstacle to achieving the transformation we seek? In this article, I argue that the traditional form of organization is antiquated and that leaders are asking the wrong questions when they ask how we get employees back to the office and how we address the worker shortage. In today’s postpandemic, AI agent, DOGE era, we are experiencing tension from an evolving workforce and workplace colliding with organizations that were designed for and flourished in the Industrial revolution. I propose a new form of organization that is fluid and morphs to match the speed of change and the complexity of today’s environment and includes both human workers and AI agents.
