Gartner Top 6 Future Work Trends

Application leaders and business executives haven't traditionally spent much time contemplating how work will change in years to come. That's largely because the IT organization has focused on operational excellence and because over the past three decades, the pace of change in the workforce has been relatively slow and predictable. The IT charter is expanding to include a larger focus on individuals, teams and overall business performance, and accelerating technology cycles are rapidly increasing the pace of change in work patterns. "Digital business models and platforms are fundamentally restructuring how business is conducted. Cloud services are increasing the speed of technology change at a rate unthinkable in the days of on-premises deployment," says Matt Cain, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
