In the new world of work, one thing is clear: the war for talent is
over—and talent won. As the pandemic waned, we returned to
sparsely populated offices and empty conference rooms. Our working
life had been transformed, seemingly overnight. But the truth is
that the ever-growing digital wave has long been breaking down
organizational boundaries and increasing open innovation, including
the use of crowdsourcing platforms as a talent solution. Now the
imperative is clear: adapt to and leverage this new, digitally
enabled world of "open talent"—or get left behind. In this
eye-opening, essential guidebook for the new world of work, John
Winsor and Jin Paik, leaders at the Laboratory for Innovation
Science at Harvard, show how the massive reset of the pandemic
allowed talented workers everywhere to exit their jobs without
leaving the workforce. Now some are freelancing for multiple
companies or starting small businesses, leaving hiring managers
scratching their heads over a workforce gone AWOL. What's more,
talent has more power than ever using platforms such as
Freelancer.com, Fiverr, and Upwork, setting their own terms for
work: what, where, when, and at what price. How can companies
adapt? The key, the authors argue, is shifting to a more
"distributed" idea of the organization that revolves around talent
(people) and projects, not divisions and offices. In this new
model, which the authors call a networked organization, talent is
culled from both inside and outside the organization, dispensing
with siloed approaches to talent acquisition and instead viewing
talent through a single lens: as a global ecosystem that can be
tapped as needed. With rich stories, keen insights, and an
abundance of practical advice, Winsor and Paik provide a new
framework and operating model for transforming your organization
into a talent-orchestrating, problem-solving machine.
