A new social contract for creative work

"I’ve been saying for a while that simple and merely complicated work will continue to get automated and outsourced (read this post if you don’t believe it or look at this example of legal work getting automated). To keep a job in the creative economy (with core skills of Initiative, Creativity & Passion) one must become an indispensable linchpin in the organization."

“First we automated menial jobs, now we’re automating middle-class jobs. Unfortunately, we still demand that people have a job soon after becoming adults. This trend is going to be a big problem…”
I think more opportunities are being created than destroyed, but our institutions and our cultural mindset still are not ready for this change.
2 more annotation(s)...
- The indicators that the underlying nature of work and wealth generation have changed are everywhere.
- Abolish the organization chart and replace it with a network diagram (some new tech companies have done this).
  Move away from counting hours, to a results only work environment (with distributed work, this is becoming more common).
  Encourage outside work that doesn’t directly interfere with paid work, as it will strengthen the network (such as Google’s 20% time for engineers).
  Provide options for workers to come and go and give them ways to stay connected when they’re not employed (like Ericsson’s Stay Connected Facebook group). Build an ecosystem, not a monolith.
