Developed by ex-McKinsey & Big 4 consultants, this PPT offers a structured 3-phase approach to crafting a Future of Work Strategy for HR leaders. Future of Work Strategy is a 29-slide PPT PowerPoint presentation slide deck (PPTX) available for immediate download upon purchase.
Global consulting firm Deloitte defines a "Future of Work Strategy" as: "a plan or roadmap that outlines an organization's approach to managing the changing nature of work, including trends such as remote work, automation, and new skills requirements."
Many organizations' preparations for the Future of Work are happening in silos of individual business units with more strategically minded leaders. This informal and fragmented approach to the Future of Work raises significant risks, such as conflicting business unit priorities, redundancies in processes and efforts, and misalignment with organizational goals. These risks can have severe cost implications.
A unified Future of Work Strategy can provide a Competitive Advantage, surface innovative ideas, and enhance Employee Engagement. As more organizations invest in planning for the Future of Work, HR leaders must develop a centralized strategy to remain competitive in a disruptive and uncertain environment.
HR leaders struggle to determine the right approach for formalizing the Future of Work at their organizations. Leverage this framework presentation to learn the key principles and the process of establishing a Future of Work Strategy.
This PowerPoint presentation breaks down a 3-phase approach to crafting a Future of Work Strategy:
1. Trends Analysis
2. Scenario Creation
3. Future of Work Strategic Planning
We dive into each of these phases, further breaking down the Future of Work Strategy formulation process into 8 key steps. By adopting this comprehensive approach, we can align our workforce with strategic goals and respond effectively to disruptions, positioning our organization for long-term success.
If HR leaders want to create a Future of Work Strategy in a short span of time and for a short time horizon, they can skip the scenario creation phase (Phase 2) and move straight from trends analysis to Strategic Planning. In doing so, they would conduct the gap analysis and identify initiatives using the prioritized trends and their implications directly, without crafting scenarios first.
This PowerPoint presentation on Future of Work Strategy also includes slide templates for you to leverage in your own business presentations.
This PPT slide outlines the second phase of developing a Future of Work Strategy, focusing on scenario creation. Organizations must predict and test future business scenarios to adapt to evolving market conditions. The first example involves a retail company creating scenarios around e-commerce growth and changing consumer behaviors, preparing for futures where online shopping dominates or coexists with brick-and-mortar stores. The second example features a healthcare organization considering demographic changes and technological advancements, envisioning a future of personalized healthcare or increased demand for mental health services. Developing future scenarios requires creating plausible narratives based on various assumptions, enhancing strategic planning and organizational responsiveness to unforeseen challenges. Insights from these scenarios inform decision-making and strategic direction.
This PPT slide outlines a structured approach for developing a Future of Work Vision and Strategy through a comprehensive three-phase process comprising 7 critical steps. The first phase, Trends Analysis, involves identifying and interpreting trends shaping the work environment, prioritizing them based on their potential impact. The second phase, Scenario Creation, focuses on designing programs under identified initiatives and testing scenarios to understand how trends influence future operations, fostering flexibility and adaptability. The final phase, Future of Work Strategic Planning, consolidates insights from previous phases to measure progress and develop actionable strategies aligned with the organization's vision. This iterative approach emphasizes continuous refinement of strategies in response to emerging trends, ensuring relevance in a rapidly evolving work landscape.
This PPT slide outlines methods for gathering data for trend analysis impacting Future of Work strategies, categorized into external sources, internal sources, and a multistep process. External sources include monitoring industry reports, setting alerts, attending conferences, engaging with experts, and analyzing competitors' actions and cross-industry trends. Internal sources involve reviewing board minutes, analyzing talent analytics for recruitment and retention trends, and conducting employee and customer surveys. The multistep process encourages creative data gathering techniques like premortem analysis and science fiction writing to envision future scenarios. Engaging stakeholders and conducting market research enhances understanding of customer needs and expectations. By leveraging these data sources and methodologies, organizations can better anticipate changes and adapt their strategies.
This PPT slide outlines the final step in the Trends Analysis phase, focusing on prioritizing impactful trends. NASA's three-filter approach evaluates longevity, alignment with talent, and opportunity for evaluation, allowing for trend categorization into themes that support strategic goals, such as "designing for sharing and security." In contrast, John Deere's Megatrend Assessment employs a two-screen filter: an impact screen assessing trends against core business capabilities and an opportunity screen ranking megatrends for resource investment. This structured prioritization aids organizations in aligning resources with critical Future of Work initiatives and broader strategic objectives.
This PPT slide outlines the initial phase of trend analysis, focusing on identifying trends that will shape the future of work. It includes 2 main sections: sourced trends and derived trends. Sourced trends are gathered from external sources such as expert insights, press reports, and industry trend reports, as well as internal sources like talent analytics, board meeting minutes, employee feedback, and customer surveys. Derived trends involve envisioning potential futures and identifying necessary steps, utilizing techniques like premortems to anticipate failures and science fiction writing to explore scenarios. Analyzing competitor behavior and drawing parallels from other industries are also effective strategies for trend derivation. A structured approach to trend analysis supports informed decision-making and strategic planning, helping organizations recognize potential disruptions and opportunities.
