Design the future
In the words of legendary
management consultant Peter
Drucker: “The easiest way to
predict the future is to help
create it.” The future is
exciting; we’ve identified
the megatrends in today’s
world of work and how
we can take these
forward. Ultimately,
it’s always about
people. We must go
back to basics, create
a wider sense of
purpose and humility,
and encourage
collaboration. We must
build a community
where it’s natural to
share success stories
and innovations. Our
mission now is to educate
leaders about how the world
of work is changing, how the next
generation perceives work, and what
they want from it, and what new
business models look like.

8 Create
and purpose
Gone are the days when we looked to
one leader, who knew everything. The
best modern leaders are those who
create a sense of passion, vision and
purpose – those people who attract
people to engage, follow and connect
with them.
