This publication includes a collection of contributions from 12 international experts from the academic or institutional world who share their reflections on the possible evolution and transformation that will affect the world of work over the next 20 years. Published by the Gi Group Foundation in collaboration with Harvard Business Review Italia. The world of work is profoundly changing due to factors such as: technological innovation; organizational change strategies to optimize the use of resources and minimize environmental impact; transformation of organizations and people management; new professions and search for skills, and modernization of work regulations and rules. However, it is not always clear how these factors and changes might influence people, organizations, and working relationships in the future. As also underlined by the 2018 World Economic Forum, the profound changes we are witnessing, if managed wisely, can in fact open the door to a new era of good work: fair employment and better life quality for everyone.
