FUTURE OF WORK

The world of work is changing exponentially fast. Artificial intelligence and automation will make this mega shift as significant as the mechanization in prior generations of agriculture and manufacturing. While some jobs will be lost, and many others created, almost all will change. Will Robots Take My Job?! Maybe, but they will also usher in new jobs, #bigfacts.
Your Job May Be In Danger Homie! 

Mike Johns knows that as automation continues and we see the rise of artificial intelligence, robots and other nascent technologies such as blockchain entering the workforce, there is massive disruption of jobs. The pandemic has expedited this change, forcing businesses to find efficient ways to connect outside of the office, and most of these changes are here to stay. Johns works with large and small organizations, from Fortune 500s to startups to develop a crisis response to include a new operating model, clear goals, and a replacement of corporate bureaucracy with a focus on staff development. Mike Johns leverages his network to craft experiences that evokes powerful emotions, build intimacy and grows the organizations culture overtime.

There is no exact method to predict the future, however, Mike Johns knows that as the world begins to move into the post-COVID-19 era, leaders need to commit to forward thinking. The current trends within the workforce already provide incredible insight into how the future of the work will operate and impact business. Johns believes that if organizational leadership can reflect and rethink their business strategies than their organizations will be able to gain and maintain a competitive advantage in their market.
