There are few clichés quite so well worn as the one that says the world is changing faster than ever before. But the fact that it is a cliché doesn’t make it any less true. In fact, the changes we are experiencing now really are exponential. The combination of globalisation and the dizzying rate of technological development means that we are on the brink of nothing less than a fourth Industrial Revolution.

The case for innovations such as flexible working is strong, but owners and CEOs will recognise that they have implications for the way the business is run. Moving to an agile employment model requires a change of management mindset and corporate structure. Only one thing is certain. The future of work will look very different to the past.

• Work in the future will look very different to work in the past. This shift has myriad drivers, but we can’t understand them without looking at the broader context in which businesses operate.
• Technology has changed the nature of work, as the factory system declined and gave way to the ‘information age’. The next step will be the automation of a range of jobs and workplace functions that will displace another layer of the human workforce.
• There are key differences in experiences, attitudes and expectations between the different generations. And right now, the important distinction is between the Baby Boomers and Gen Xers who dominate corporate management ranks and the 16-36 year-old Millennials who make up the rest of the workforce.
