Face the future on the crest of the wave while the rest are pulled under

The Future-Proof Workplace is a survival guide for the new realities of business. The future is no longer some far-off destination; it is here, right now, and already changing the way we work. Historically, the sea-changes have advanced humanity and inspired us to reach even further; from the Dark Ages to the Age of Enlightenment, from agrarian to industrial societies--and today is no different. But only those who are ready for the changes will come out thriving. This book highlights the changes already taking place around us: the transition from skills to knowledge, the neuroscience approach to leadership and motivation, galloping technical advances, and more. Whether you're a CEO, a leader or manager, or just trying to survive the chaos, this invaluable guide is your wake-up call--the future is now.

The new forces emerging must be understood now if your organization is to succeed. This book details the transformation every business must make to turn upheaval into opportunity.

Discover how emerging technologies and neuroscience research are already impacting the way we work
Learn how yesterday's biases are being replaced by modern values, culture, and relationships
Consider the "heart" of your organization, and whether it can stand up to the purpose-driven paradigm of the future
Find new achievement in the new organizational structure, and examine models that are already emerging

Everyone knows that changes are needed--and fast. The question is: which changes, and how? The Future-Proof Workplace maps the transformation, and gives you an itinerary for each step of the way.

From the Inside Flap

PRAISE FOR THE FUTURE-PROOF WORKPLACE

"By anticipating the future we thrive in it. Linda and Morag do an outstanding job of helping us see what is coming and then making both organization and personal choices to live and work better. Their ideas are insightful, stories captivating, and recommendations useful."
--Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor of Business, University of Michigan Partner, The RBL Group

"The Future-Proof Workplace provides the insights you need to ensure your organization is prepared today for the changes that are already upon us."
--Margaret M. Keane, Chief Executive Officer of Synchrony Financial

"Linda and Morag share their clear thinking regarding the future-proof workplace. It's a new day in the work world, and to stay alive and competitive, employers and employees must understand and appreciate the myriad factors affecting the workplace at an alarming rate. Staying abreast of how globalization, demographic shifts, and technological advances impact our world are the keys to success."
--Dale Mason Cochran, President, Concourse Ventures, Inc.

"The Future-Proof Workplace is a home run! It challenges us to embrace the most important discussion every leader must be having--how to future-proof their organization."
--Jason Jennings, New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Think BIG-Act Small, The Reinventors, and The High-Speed Company

"The Future-Proof Workplace highlights a subject other management texts avoid--that the nature of work has changed and yet our approach to work, in many cases, has not. This book is packed with stories and practical approaches and solutions to future-proof your organization."
--Jean Elizabeth Lee, Principal, PwC Human Capital Consulting

"Recent business and technology shifts have created a workplace that is almost unrecognizable from that of two decades ago. And yet many of our approaches to leadership have remained unchanged. Sharkey and Barrett wake us up--crystallizing the changes and giving us new, values-driven tools for powerful, effective leadership."
--Jim Ludema, PhD, cofounder and director of the Center for Values-Driven Leadership at Benedictine University

From the Back Cover

Nobody can really be sure what tomorrow will bring--what game-changing technology, history-shaping demographic shifts, or unanticipated market forces will emerge, or how they'll impact the way we work and lead. But what we do know for certain is that the future will be different from what we've known; it's already taking shape right before our eyes, and if we don't prepare for it now, we can surrender any hope of our organizations surviving or thriving tomorrow.

A rousing wake-up call and an essential survival guide, The Future-Proof Workplace is the distillation of award-winning leadership and organizational consultants and thought leaders Linda Sharkey's and Morag Barrett's extensive work with Fortune 500 organizations and CEOs around the world. Drawing upon their first-hand experiences, as well as the latest research, it offers you a proven formula for assessing, retooling, and reshaping your organization for tomorrow's challenges, today.

Packed with compelling real-world case studies and examples, it fills you in on the six critical factors that must be addressed if you hope to remain competitive in an increasingly turbulent, global marketplace: Leadership, Culture, Organizing Principles, Relationships, Diversity and Inclusion, and Technology. You'll also discover how emerging technologies and advances in neuroscience research are toppling twentieth-century organizational paradigms and transforming the way we work. And you'll find out how yesterday's biases are being replaced by tomorrow's values, culture, and relationships.

In addition, you will learn to look deep into the heart of your company to determine if it's ready and willing to adapt to the purpose-driven business paradigm of the future. You'll gain powerful insights into the new organizational models that are coming into being at the most successful, forward-thinking companies, worldwide. And you'll learn to identify and seize the bold, new opportunities that twenty-first-century organizational structures will offer.

With The Future-Proof Workplace as your guide, you'll be prepared to meet new challenges head-on and to grow your organization the day after tomorrow and beyond.

A Roadmap for Change

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2017

Morag Barrett is one of the smartest ladies I know. Her work on Cultivate: The Power of Winning Relationships was transformative in my understanding of workplace culture. This new book, written with Linda Sharkey, compares what was in the twentieth century to what must be in the twenty-first century if we are going to survive. The authors examine leadership, culture, organizing principles, diversity and inclusion and technology as separate lenses, identifying the shifts that must occur to be effective in today's ever-changing workplace. Both ladies have stood at the crossroads of change and chosen success. Learn from them in this well-written, research-supported, easy to read narrative. whether it's going cover to cover, or jumping in for learning snacks on a specific topic, each visit leaves you with new insights.

Do you have the courage to look beyond the current?

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2018

A fast read that bring you to the reality on the need to bring the unconsciousness conscious and to prepare yourself and your organisation for the future, which is today.

Morag prompts the readers to take a hard look at "does your work matter?" and "will your business matter next year?", questions that are requires a deep look into what you are striving.

The future work place is about purpose and value. Resources at work place are shared amongst the community members e.g. hot desk, facility meeting rooms, etc.

A radical mindset change is required to take you beyond where many are bogged.

Excellent book addressing several areas to focus on to future proof yourself and your business. Great chapters on culture, purpose and technology. The diversity and inclusion chapter seemed to contradict itself a bit and was not as helpful as other chapters unfortunately. It's an easy read that will inspire thought and discussion.

This was one of the most interesting books I've read about the transformation business is making now and in the future. I loved the chapter on technology. I've always found it intriguing and it's especially interesting, and sometimes scary, to learn about the predictions for where our world is headed.

This was a great book for thinking about the workplace from all levels of employment. Emphasizes the ability for everyone to lead. Frankly an inspiring "self-help" book for business that doesn't just go through everything a business is doing wrong. Highly recommended.
