Drivers of Change in Today’s Uncertain World
The Talent Mismatch is deepening as the working age
population declines and the nature of work changes.
Individual Choice will be exercised by those with
the skills that are most in demand.
Technological Revolutions have the power to
change where, when and how we work.
Rising Customers Sophistication requires businesses
to work in a new way, driven by innovation and
delivering greater value and efficiency

A Less-Fluid Workforce

•
•
Many jobs require similar skills
Workforce skills are well matched to the
workplace
Workforce mobility is increasing
Competition for jobs is high as
population booms
•
•
•
Many jobs require specialized skills
Many people who want jobs lack
the appropriate qualifications
Many people with appropriate qualifications
are in the wrong geographic location
Despite high levels of unemployment
broadly, competition for qualified people
grows
The economy has changed faster than
the workforce can or has adapted

Talent Mismatch
The skills mismatch will
intensify as pressure to find
the right skills in the right
place at the right time will
increase as working age
populations decline,
economies rebound,
emerging markets rise, and
the nature of work shifts.

Pave the way for women
– In 2008, the International Labor Organization
found that the global employment-to-population
ratio was 49.1% for women in 2007 compared to
74.3% for men.
– Around the globe, more women than men are
graduating from college
Consider talent migration

world today– about 3% of the global population
– Emigration rates tend to be highest in the most
educated segments of the population

Implications
Talent Mismatch
Critical shortages will intensify in key skill sets
Many options will exist for building the workforce
Demographic shifts will increase the pressure to use the talents
of all individuals
Divide between the skilled and unskilled workforce is accelerating
Continuous training and development of the workforce will be
required in order to maintain a job-ready workforce
Organizations need an agile talent strategy to attract, engage
and retain the talent required to execute their business strategy

World of Work Trends: Individual Choice
Individual Choice
People with skills that are
most in demand will exercise
choice in selecting work
arrangements that best suit
their values and preferred
“one- size-fits-one “ work
experiences.
Organizations will be
challenged to customize
flexible work practices that
attract, motivate and engage
multiple generations in the
workforce.

World of Work Trends: Individual Choice
Drivers of Demand for Choice
Technology-enabled work options
– New technologies are making it easy to
accomplish the same workload from anywhere
and at any time
Leverage in critical skill sets
– Individuals with key skills will be increasingly able to
dictate terms
Changes in expectations
– In many societies, social norms have
been changed to encourage individuals to

What Kind of Flexibility?
Flexibility in how and where work
gets done
– Skilled workers will desire the ability to perform
their jobs where, when, and how they want
Flexibility in how work is compensated
– Skilled workers will demand a holistic approach
to compensation, with valued compensation
ranging from more money, to more time off, to
more time to innovate and create at work
Flexibility in career choices
– Skilled workers will define accomplishment
beyond the traditional measures of career
success, and they will expect their employer to
accommodate and encourage life priorities
outside of work

Business is Just Beginning to Harness the Power of Web 2.0
Despite their growing use and social importance,
Web 2.0 technologies are often viewed as a distraction
rather than a productivity tool
Even for those companies that have recognized
the potential of 2.0 technologies, implementation
and adoption have proven difficult
However, to effectively manage and engage today’s
skilled workforce, Web 2.0 must be utilized to foster
collaboration and creativity

World of Work Trends: Rise of Customer Sophistication
Rise of Customer
Sophistication
Customers’ expectations around
value will rise. Customers are
more global and sophisticated,
increasing the complexity of their
relationships with organizations
and the specificity of their value
demands.
Customers have increased access
to information, to networks of
experts, to lower cost channels
which increases pressure on
companies to deliver value –
faster.
