Page 5 - The Interconnected Individual: Seizing Opportunity in the Era of AI, Platforms, Apps, and Global Exchanges

Abstract

Given the rapid technological, organizational, and structural changes
that challenge conventional institutions and economies, what is the
future of work? The authors propose a path to seize opportunity for the
individual worker and entrepreneur, who can be newly interconnected
and augmented by emerging technologies. Values-based individual career
and business navigation can thrive and succeed; teams, groups, and
networks can be enhanced with a new mode of innovation based on social
conversation and connection rather than a commercial, hierarchical, and
prescriptive process.
The authors provide visual models, case studies, and in-depth
interviews with cutting-edge practitioners, who provide insights from
real-world experience.
The Interconnected Individual is intended to help business and
professional executives and freelance workers to adopt an entrepreneurial
mind-set, regardless of field, industry, or work role.
