Open Talent and the Future of Work

Webinar Details

What has happened to work and the workforce? What can organizations do to attract talented workers to solve the most important challenges? In the aftermath of the pandemic, work has been transformed, seemingly overnight. The truth is, the digital wave has long been breaking down organizational boundaries and increasing open innovation—notably through the use of crowdsourcing talent platform solutions. Now the imperative is clear: adapt to and leverage this new, digitally enabled world of "open talent"—or get left behind. In this live, interactive HBR webinar, John Winsor and Jin Paik will describe: • A massive workforce reset triggered by the pandemic that allows talented workers everywhere to freelance or start small businesses. • How companies can adapt by shifting to a more "distributed" idea of the organization that revolves around talent (people) and projects, not divisions and offices. • A new model of a networked organization where talent is culled from inside and outside the organization, as needed, via a globe ecosystem. Winsor and Paik will explain why organizations must adapt to this new world of open talent and how to do so. They will share a framework, guidelines, and an operating model for transforming your organization into a talent-orchestrating, problem-solving machine. They will also provide real-world case studies and practical advice. In the new world of work, one thing is clear: the war for talent is over—and talent won. Now, as your organization wrestles with how best to leverage talented workers from around the globe to solve the organization’s most important challenges, join Winsor, Paik, and HBR on October 18th to learn how to tap into the power of open talent.
