36 Workforce of the future: The competing forces shaping 2030 The ‘no regrets’ moves for organisations Organisations are faced with an array of choices when looking at the future. This requires an understanding of the possibilities – both desired and undesired – to plan accordingly. No matter what the future holds, we believe there are some ‘no regrets’ moves that apply universally: Make decisions based on purpose and values • Build a future ‑ l ooking understanding of how humans and machines might collaborate to deliver your corporate purpose. • Clarify your values and behaviours that underpin your policies, processes, decision ‑ making and priorities. • Identify and engage with internal and external stakeholders to manage their expectations and co ‑ c reate the future of work. • Create an open and transparent narrative on how you are influencing, planning and delivering on the future of work – for your organization, society and individuals. Linear predictions don’t cut it • Plan for multiple and emerging visions of the future using a scenarios approach. • Understand clearly how each creates different workforce challenges and implications.
