Is it time we all unleashed our inner

entrepreneur? It might just be our best chance in

a world of constant change, uncertainty and rapid

shift.

As flux becomes the new normal keeping up and

keeping ahead is our challenge. In this

environment, the flatter, empowering, learning

organisations are storming ahead. The rigid,

hierarchical and existing management paradigms

are begin to fail us. We are in a new age of fail

fast. Fail often.

Is the HR profession able to design the right jobs

to make the very best use of our people?

Today, sources of strategic advantage are rooted

firmly in our entrepreneurial appetite. Be ready for

failure, constantly learn, and aim high.

Welcome to the world of try it, find what works,

then run as fast as you can when it does.

We have entered a new age of scientific

HR management. But it’s not like anything we

knew before.

Disciplines are converging and it’s painting an

optimistic picture of what people can achieve.

It is true engagement underpinned by an

understanding of human behaviour and

human biology.

If we are really looking to improve

performance we need to take time to

understand what motivates and drives human

beings on a fundamental level.

Human kind has already seen the industrial

revolution, then the technological revolution,

now we are now on the cusp of the true

people revolution.

It is perhaps the most significant.

And the most incredible.

Tomorrow, technological change will not

compete with or disrupt human endeavour; it

is our greatest opportunity to realise the potential

of our people. For the first time we are entering

the age of connected intelligence.

We are in the age of people to people, employee

to employee and employee to potential

employee. The HR profession is uniquely placed

to give commercial advantage to any

organisation operating in this context. Today we

have the chance to leverage disruptive

technologies as incredible tools for engagement.

At its greatest, automation and technology

should be giving us more power, and more

opportunities, to become more human

organisations. 70% of enterprise value is now

wrapped up in our intangibles: ideas, innovation

and human energy. These are the dominant

natural resources of tomorrow.
