The Future of Work(ers) in Brave Organizations
Jan 23 2020
DesignTO projectevent: talk in-person

Join DesignTO and The Moment to explore the next generation of Organization Design and what that means for workers within the Future of Work. The event will feature a panel of speakers from CounterTax Lawyers, ET Group, Mantle314, and The Moment, followed by smaller facilitated discussions, to get to the core of how future-oriented organizations are enabling workers to adapt and respond to changing conditions in the Future of Work.

To excel in the Future of Work, organizations must be brave. They must lead by embracing new team dynamics, distributing authority and decision-making, and enabling employees and customers outside of traditional channels with a strong voice.

Innovation and culture are integral to the success of organizations in these new conditions. Yet, corporate structures so often block employees from recognizing and responding to change. How can organizations tap into the creative and innovative skillset of its workers while embracing new ways of working?

The Future of Work(ers) in Brave Organizations will speak to these themes:

  • “Teal” and self-organizing models
  • Dynamic and responsive operations
  • Self-aware workers and leaders
  • Organizations who are pushing the status quo, and leading in new and unique ways

This is a two-part event:

Part I—Panel: Hear from four people leading self-managing and “Teal” practices

Part II—Facilitated Discussion: Break into smaller group discussions. Led by The Moment and our panel speakers, you can ask questions and learn from leaders participating in forward-thinking organizations.

Is your organization brave? What can you do to nudge a brave mindset forward? How are other organizations navigating the Future of Work within this context?

Ask questions. Get inspired. Join the Innovation community.

Peter Aprile, Human, Lawyer & Source, Counter Tax Lawyers
Aprile is a lawyer with an idea. His idea sparked Counter Tax Lawyers. It attracted some good people and good lawyers. While working and playing together, they started to see ways to do better legal work. And ways to work better together. For example, they started to see how their organizational model was working against their potential. So, they’re now exploring a different model and practices to create an environment that cultivates better legal professionals and better humans.
