What will the future of work look like?

I recently ran across this post over at The Future of Work Blog. They recently held a conference and had some discussion about what the work world will look like down the road. Here are just a few of the questions that were raised:

• What forces will drive change in the nature of work?
• What will the world like be like in 2012?
• How can we build complete live-work communities that give workers their lives back while simultaneously giveing employers highly productive workers?
• What is an "effective workplace?"
• How can we measure and manage employee engagement?
• How does an effective workplace impact organizational capability and ultimately business performance?

All great questions! Knowing there are groups like this out there, asking the right kind of questions, get me excited about where we are headed when it comes to organizational leadership.
