“Building the Organization of the Future” - By Mimi Brooks

     The worker experience is changing - and changing fast and permanently.

     To be clear, the essence of work itself is changing, because organizations are aligning themselves with new, digitally driven business models. Yet if we ask what we know about worker needs in the future state, most business leaders today would answer “not much”. 

     In this book, thought leader and CEO Mimi Brooks uses a two-decade pedigree of consulting with some of the largest corporations in the world to explain why it is no longer enough to observe workers in their current environment, work activities and practices in order to understand their working needs. Using a model of the organization of the future, she explains how we need to look at human work as it pertains to the evolving state of our businesses in the shifting context of the world around us.

     This book provides a roadmap to developing business ecosystems that are increasingly interconnected, interdependent, automatically adaptive, and untethered to physical assets, as well as insights into the worker experiences needed to support new work in these models.

“Digital Worker Experiences in the Fourth Industrial Revolution” -By Mimi Brooks

     The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) has unleashed forces that profoundly impact companies and markets by blurring the lines between people and technology. Digitally driven innovations that previously existed on the edges of business ecosystems are now ubiquitous. As human-machine collaboration becomes both necessary and prevalent, the worker experience must emerge as the focal point of organizational transformation.

     This book examines how 4IR organizational shifts will have a profound effect on the business world over the coming years, as an era of knowledge and parallel breakthroughs in technologies such as robotics, machine learning and artificial intelligence place the worker experience at the epicenter of change.

     Written by a recognized thought leader and CEO with over two decades of experience working with Fortune 100 companies, this book is essential reading for any executive seeking insights on successful organizational transformation.
