How do you think work will change (in the next 2-5 years) due to technological advances?

I don't like using "new normal" after the pandemic 😂 But I think asynchronous work will be the new normal very soon!

This answer is likely not relevant to the timeframe the OP specified. The following answer will likely be more relevant in 20-30 years. I think we will be using AI a lot more in the next generation. As AIs improve, we will be in a world where a single person would be able to do the job of a number of individuals. We will see sequences and automations within the AI industry as multiple tasks are performed. This will cause a boom in the startup space as the barriers to starting a business will be lower. We will also see less dependence on investors. Given that the human mind is always looking to outdo itself, I would think that people in the future will work harder and achieve a lot more as their efforts get amplified by AI.

I agree with asynchronous work! Also some of the main challenges will probably be creating a structure around asynchronous updates, time efficiency and alignment with stakeholders. Effective communication&collaboration tools surely will have an edge on.

@kartal_erkoc1 thanks for sharing! You're right! While reading, I came up with a question: How could communication not be affected by asynchronous work? The feeling that you belong to a team! Now, I have something to read about tonight!

I think working conditions will become a lot more individualized granting workers more flexibility and autonomy.
Maria Noemi Hernandez
@franziska_kroll I would add ownership and accountability! We need to trust our peers!
Jonathan Brun
@franziska_kroll 100% agree. bullish

I think flexibility will become a key focus going forward, I can see the concept of a 9-5 ending in favour of a more productive option
Maria Noemi Hernandez
@aaronoleary I couldn't agree more! This ties in with my idea of asynchronous work. We don't need to be 9-5 in front of a screen to collaborate and work together.

Hopefully more time will be freed up from repetitive/manual tasks that can be automated, leaving more room for big ideas!
Maria Noemi Hernandez
@catherine_norris I agree! Technology will help us with those tasks that stop us from being more and more productive!
Ivo Scherkamp
well, the constant switching between tools and searching for information will hopefully stop in some way...
Maria Noemi Hernandez
@ivo_scherkamp we need that!
Sanjay Somashekar
@ivo_scherkamp we are building something along similar lines, would you be interested in checking it out?

Hybrid model? Wfh + office hours/ events 🤔

@shivam_jha3 Yes, remote work culture will takeover traditional office jobs

Less employees, more flexibility, less work hours, less in-office work.

4 day work week, more employees working less hours, sales teams will shrink, less VC funding due to tools and resources available to scale more lean.

Technology is constantly evolving and changing, which means that work will change as well. Some of the more notable changes that you can expect include: -Shift towards a more remote workforce where employees are able to work from anywhere in the world -Advances in AI and robotics that will enable machines to do much of the repetitive tasks currently done by humans -More businesses being started online rather than face physical presence All of these changes mean that you need to keep up with latest trends if you want to stay ahead of the curve. In order for your business to be successful, it is essential for managers and employees alike to have access not only to new technologies but also an understanding of how they can be used within organizational structures. Additionally, learning new skills on an ongoing basis should be part of your job description.
