Ravin Jesuthasan and John W. Boudreau
Work Without Jobs
How to Reboot Your Organization’s Work Operating System
MIT Press, 2022
Aperçu
The gig economy and new technologies will erode boundaries and hierarchies.
Recommendation
Forces such as new technologies rapidly disrupt the workplace, say Ravin Jesuthasan and John W. Boudreau, and the future of work no longer centers around jobs or employees. Organizations that want to get ahead of the curve must “deconstruct” work into its component parts and reassemble all the moving pieces, such as tasks and worker capacities, into more effective arrangements. Jesuthasan and Boudreau urge leaders to adopt agile practices and prepare for disruption of their roles as they help organizations embrace a new paradigm of work.
