The Future Of Work Is Not ‘Jobless’ – It Is ‘Jobfull’

ThisMuchWeKnow

Yesterday’s post about how networks support getting work done was reformatted from a post I did inside a walled garden ESN last year. It stirred up a few reflections from my network colleagues, and inspired today’s post. As mundane work is increasingly outsourced and automated, it does NOT mean the future of work is ‘jobless’ – au contraire, it is ‘jobfull’. Most knowledge workers will have (to have) multiple concurrent gigs. We will have to specialise further as the generic skills get automated and outsourced. Anyone sitting still and not upskilling iteratively and constantly will be lucky to survive. In … Continue reading The Future Of Work Is Not ‘Jobless’ – It Is ‘Jobfull’

Look Up! The Ceiling Is An Everywhere Metaphor For Insight.

ThisMuchWeKnow

Yesterday, I wrote about the value of staring at the ceiling. Today, a semi-cogent example of how others are doing it and prospering by it and bringing us with them. Jay Baer asked recently, did we just invent a new form of blogging? He was referring to the trend for SlideShare presentations of images and short form sentences / questions / reflections. No. But this is great #foodforthought.

Staring At The Ceiling Gets Me All Quantum Up On That Thing.

ThisMuchWeKnow

I am lying on my bed, looking up at my ceiling, listening to The Smiths. It is 1985, maybe. Meat is Murder is on repeat on the turntable, and hours go by. My ceiling has polystyrene tiles with random zigs and zags, lines at obtuse angles, a meaningless mélange of shapes. Yet within them, staring deeply for hours at a time, I can see many strange things: animals, narratives, emotions, thoughts scattered and now ordering. I am making sense of myself. It is 1998, I am living in Japan, and still staring at the cracked ceiling, lying on tatami. My … Continue reading Staring At The Ceiling Gets Me All Quantum Up On That Thing.

Using My Online Personal Brand To Discuss Personal Branding

ThisMuchWeKnow

I was recently asked to share some thoughts with young communicators in Vancouver on kick starting your career. The event is today. Upon gathering my notes / ideas together, a core one of which is working out loud, I realised that I might have already articulated my thoughts. In other words, if I work out loud, I probably have the content online, in the open, already. So, I perused just 4-5 weeks of tweets and voila! there it all was, in plain sight. This is called walking the talk. Phew. An hour in Storify later and I had a flow … Continue reading Using My Online Personal Brand To Discuss Personal Branding

Working Out Loud is Preposterous And Profound

ThisMuchWeKnow

Today, it’s all about networks, something you were most likely not taught about in school. This means that most of our education is useless in understanding the world as it currently exists. Yes, useless. The always erudite and coherent Harold Jarche is in a straight-to-the-point mood in this article on the need for network fluency. Yes, we need to build fluency in how networks operate, and our very active role within them, as they usurp organizations and tribes as the most powerful force in our communities and workplaces. However, it is a single sentence within the article that got me … Continue reading Working Out Loud is Preposterous And Profound
