The Future of Work is … NOW.
The transformation from the Industrial Era to the Age of Digital Dominance is assured. This transformation is underway. The forces driving the changes are massive, unstoppable, and aligned.
Unfortunately, some industries, communities, and workers will be impacted more than others. Those of us concerned about the future of work and life – especially in rural and middle America – must come together to chart a path forward. Every community is currently at risk of falling further behind. We, the people who each make up the community, must become engaged and motivated. Each community faces one main challenge: we can’t do it alone.
We need a movement that results in new education paradigms, business development, investment in infrastructure, innovative tax incentives and new privacy, antitrust and intellectual property laws. We can do this if we work together.
Many organizations and thought leaders are attempting to predict the future of work during this time of unprecedented change. This movement hopes to energize action and frame solutions that will drive economic development and prosperity for workers, businesses, and communities throughout America.
