written by Diana Clement reprinted from Seek Learning The world is changing and with it comes exciting new opportunities for work. In fact, many of us will find ourselves working in newly created industries and roles in the next decade or two. Australian business futurist, Morris.

The shift around What does the future of work look like is not purely structural. It changes what capabilities organisations value, how people find meaning in their roles, and what conditions make good work possible. Leaders who understand this early retain the talent they need and build cultures that attract it.

The most important question is not whether What does the future of work look like will matter, but how quickly it will matter in your specific context. Leaders benefit most from mapping the ripple effects early — not just the direct impact but the second and third-order consequences that arrive later and hit harder. That is the practical work of foresight.
