I wake up trying to think of new ways to tackle much of the old
thinking that most of HR is bogged down by. I am fascinated by the potential
for real, positive change that technology can bring about. I hate the
fear-mongers who worry more about the risk than the reward. I love fighting the
fight for a truly open information environment.
Traditional employment is stale and stultifying.
I want to
see people liberated by a new employee economy. I love the reaction I get when
I write or speak about this topic. Most people love it, some are skeptical and
some are afraid of it.
Stirring up the dialog is what is exciting.
The New Employee Economy is powered by the flow of data that
will enable a workforce that is not based on jobs and careers, but based on the
free market of resources, ideas, skills and tools that move about the
marketplace in much the same way other goods and services do today. The
corporation of the future is predicted to be made up of less than 20% traditional
employees. To get there, human resource data has to flow freely.
There are two problems that keep us from an open market for
human resources. The first is fear of data privacy. People don't want too much
of the data about themselves to be "out there." The second is
tradition. We have always done work the same way (or at least for the last 100
years or so). The more knowledge we can share about how the world of work can
change - the sooner we will overcome these obstacles.
I want to be an oar in the water pushing along the ideas
that will change work forever.
