WORK is a four-letter word that is an important part of a person's meaning and purpose. It is one key to becoming a contributing member of society and in the case of this podcast, a vehicle for building a person's competence, confidence, and productive future.

If your equipment business struggles to find employees, you're not alone. Across all industries, businesses are battling to find anybody who will take their jobs...skilled or unskilled. And business owners are understandably frustrated. However, so are many young people. Some graduate college and can't get a job. Others can't seem to find their way, unable to connect their interests to a career and wage they can live on. Our guest expert this month, Alexandra Levit, brings fresh insight from her new book, Make School Work. This conversation will not only get you thinking about the key concept of work-based learning, it may inspire you to take action that will benefit both your dealership and your community. "Smaller companies are in the perfect place to accomplish a really meaningful work-based learning program," says Levit. If random acts of work-based learning aren't working – like doing one-off career fairs or giving one group of students a tour of your company – maybe it's time for something more intentional and long-lasting.  Is this about apprenticeships? Yes, but there's so much more. Will it be work for you? Yes, but it will be a worthwhile effort. Levit hands you ideas and resources for creating a work-based learning blueprint that fits your business. But don't worry: "You don't have to boil the ocean all at once," she adds.

A pandemic, and all the workplace transitions that came with it, was the furthest thing from everyone's minds. But not hers. “Remote work was an example of a trend that I've been looking at for about 10 years where I knew that this was going to take off eventually.” As a work futurist and an avid researcher, Alexandra saw the inevitable change in the status quo, and prepared for it.

The Future of Work: Agility, Communication and Leadership Brandon Maslan and Jennifer K. Hill speak with futurist and best-selling author, Alexandra Levit, about the future of work. Alex shares that the leader of the future will need to be someone who is agile and that the old hierarchical strategy is becoming extinct. She also discusses that a mature attitude and a willingness to be vulnerable is critical for the leaders of the future. She explains that what matters to Generation Z and Millennials is going to differ from that of Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. She goes on to say that the more stagnant companies and leaders will not survive in this new frontier. The future of work, Alex says, is going to require continuous learning and curiosity. She suggests that the hybrid workforce, with employees being able to spend part of their time working from home and part of their time working in the office, will be the way of the future. https://alexandralevit.com/about-alexandra-and-inspiration-work

Alexandra Levit, 8x author, speaker, and career expert, interviewed by Trond Undheim, futurist and author.  In this conversation, we talk about the future of careers and strategic HR. We discuss a recent book by Levit: Humanity Works: merging tech and people for the workforce of the future (2019). Alexandra and I agree that there is lots of work required to integrate tech in the workforce. Paradoxically, it requires hard, human work to adapt to new realities. We then discuss a brand new book penned by myself, Trond Undheim: Future Tech: how to capture value from disruptive industry trends--a framework for understanding tech/society (2021).  We talk about the trends of co-working, remote work, portfolio careers, gig economy, design thinking, workplace culture, experience retail, applied tech skills, the importance of training. We also discuss the future and what that entails for the workforce and for how technology will evolve.  Having listened to this episode, check out Humanity Works, Future Tech as well as Alexandra Levit and Trond Undheim's online profiles: Humanity Works: https://www.amazon.com/Humanity-Works-Merging-Technologies-Workforce/dp/0749483458 Future Tech: https://www.amazon.com/Future-Tech-Capture-Disruptive-Industry/dp/1398600326 Alexandra Levit (LinkedIn, Twitter: @alevit): https://www.alexandralevit.com/ Trond Undheim (LinkedIn, Twitter @trondau): https://trondundheim.com/ My takeaway is that paradoxically, the future of technology is not so much about tech as it is about getting the human part right. We need to train, retrain, and adapt. We will spend more time doing that than actually developing new technology. Also, successful technology requires being in close touch with its prospective users. Failing that, technology fails. The Future of work can be bright for young people if they are proactively explore the opportunities in front of them. Conversely, the world we have already entered rewards creativity and initiative. Without that, any trend, technology or otherwise, will come as an unpleasant surprise. Thanks for listening.
