Welcome to the latest episode of the Informing Choices Mini-Pod, and the fifth in our series looking at the critical trends impacting the future of work, in partnership with Working the Future (https://www.workingthefuture.com). In this episode, we are exploring the rise of Next-Generation Talent Ecosystems and the surge of on-demand working, another meta-trend identified in Working the Future’s “Foresight Focus 2024” report (https://workingthefuture.com/foresight-focus-report). First off, we address exactly what "Next-Generation Talent Ecosystems" are. Then we will dive into three big drivers fuelling this trend and look ahead to two scenarios in 2030: one optimistic, where these ecosystems lead to greater freedom and fulfilment in work, and one pessimistic, where challenges and inequalities persist. Finally, we will consider what organisations can do right now to harness the power of these trends and prepare for the future. Working the Future’s co-founding director Cathryn Banard joins me on this episode.
