James is joined by Dr. John Boudreau, Professor Emeritus at University of Southern California, to talk about the new "Work Operating System". In this conversation we explore how technology is changing the way tasks are allocated to employees or machines or non-employees in talent marketplaces, and how workers will in the future be identified not as job holders, but through their full array of skills and talents. A fascinating consideration of the way work may be evolving!
In recent years our work environment has gotten more visibility and attention as we juggle how to deal with a pandemic. Our conversation this week with Dr. John Boudreau will help us navigate and learn from these changes, so we can embrace them to create a better work environment. We discuss in depth how adopting a skills based systems can be a framework to redefine an organization. Instead of being made up of jobs and job holders it can become a rich pool of skills that help projects and tasks succeed. This new method can breathe life into the conversation, helping to evolve our traditional and often limited ways of approaching situations. Some organizations might find they are already using many of these processes and can learn how to broaden them to other areas.Dr. John Boudreau is Professor Emeritus of Management and Organization and a Senior Research Scientist with the Center for Effective Organizations at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California, Dr. Boudreau is recognized worldwide for breakthrough research on the bridge between superior human capital, talent and sustainable competitive advantage.

Do these two concepts really work together in that way?(29:21) What if we started reporting on people success? What can this mean for an organization?(34:45) What examples can Dr. Boudreau share with us how this new operating system model is impacting businesses he works with?(40:36) How does Dr. Boudreau see these models impacting a traditional business hierarchal structure?(54:14) What types of challenges and criticism does Dr. Boudreau receive when discussing/implementing these new models?

Certainly not most academics, and probably not the business students they teach. The common perception around HR is that its focus is getting everyone their benefits and making sure sexual harassment trainings are completed. But there is so much more to this field. Dr. John Boudreau is a professor emeritus of management and organization and a senior research scientist with the Center for Effective Organizations at the University of Southern California Marshall School of Business. With his research on the bridge between work human capital development, leadership, and sustainable competitive advantage, Dr. Boudreau's interests are in the future of work and organization. His latest books on HR include “Work without Jobs: How to Reboot Your Organization's Work Operating System (Management on the Cutting Edge)” and Reinventing Jobs: a 4 step Approach for Applying Automation to Work.He joins Greg to talk about how “work” is not synonymous with a “job,” trust when it comes to change, dealing with inevitable automation, and iphone upgrades as a metaphor for the changing workplace.Episode Quotes:The evolution of tasks & jobsCan I give you a bonus for being a bus boy and coming over here and helping out with the wait staff? You know, and how long is it that you do that before you say, you know what? I'm getting paid at the bus boy, but 30% of my time I'm over here helping out highly paid waiters and waitresses. You know, if you're not, don't I get to get paid in the tips? and so - oh, wait a minute. Do we have a system that can pay you that way? Can we give you credit for the skills that you're using over there?So what is the evolution? So, basically that is kind of, this is not a dig on HR. These systems exist for everybody and they exist for a reason, but they require rethinking. Trust in changing workplacesIf we're going to be in a relationship like a worker and their leaders, or a worker in their company, there needs to be some trust that the other party isn't out to get you. Or that the other party hasn't left aside your considerations in the interest of their own.Building community in new work environmentsI think COVID has helped us to understand that there are new ways to build community. That said, it's also helped us understand that that traditional system was so embedded, that those alternative ways of being remote or being fluid are difficult. Much more difficult than just taking a job.Show Links:Guest Profile:Professional Profile at University of Southern CaliforniaProfessional Profile at USC Annenberg Center for Third Space ThinkingSpeaker Profile at Big SpeakJohn Bourdreau's WebsiteJohn Boudreau on LinkedInJohn Boudreau on TwitterHis Work:Beyond HR: The New Science of Human CapitalRetooling HR: Using Proven Business Tools to Make Better Decisions About TalentLead the Work: Navigating a World Beyond EmploymentReinventing Jobs: A 4-Step Approach for Applying Automation to WorkWork without Jobs: How to Reboot Your Organization's Work Operating System

Is it time to retire the concept of a job? Is it holding us all back—especially if we really want to make Hybrid Work a success? That's a new, and we think highly useful, concept from today's guest, author, academic and futurist John Boudreau. In the episode, John tells us how we want to move away from thinking about work as one job and job holder at a time and one degree at a time, to a system that allows the parts to freely connect, so tasks and projects can connect to atomized or deconstructed worker capabilities like Skills, which can be gained through an atomized set of things like experiences, partial degrees or credentials. John—a well-known HR scholar who's Professor Emeritus of Management and Organization and a Senior Research Scientist with the Center for Effective Organizations at the Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California—says his thinking here is that we've been using the wrong unit of analysis in ‘the job,' and that a new operating system of work is needed that should be instead be based on deconstructed elements of a role in terms of tasks rather than being based primarily on the job as the atomic unit of HR analysis. As you're about to find, this is all set forth in his new book with fellow researcher Ravin Jesuthasan, Work Without Jobs, whose top concepts we try and explore, like what it might be like to ‘melt' a job down to see what it's made of and who could do bits of it instead, as well as a very new way of thinking about ice cubes. We're so honored John agreed to be our lead-off guest for the Season, as we think it identifies many key themes and frees up some real opportunities for fresh Hybrid Work thinking we'll all find useful. Just be careful you don't melt while listening.
We've completed one sort of Odyssey (at least for now). Now, it's time for an Adventure. That's the message from our customary opening new Workplace Stories from RedThread Research Season scene-setter this week, where the guys reveal that our next set of engagements and learning from experts and practitioners in the world of HR and the future of work is the current supernova-hot topic of Hybrid Work. If you really are just out of your COVID bunker, we refer, of course, to the idea of how we might re-orient ourselves to a workplace where employee expectations about ‘presenteeism' have changed, a lot… whether they have that much really for employers, well—let's see. Also covered: how RedThread's working with its team and clients to make our own changes to support Hybrid. To set us up, a review of how powerful employees are right now on their side of their see-saw (for how long), some Intriguing guest names get dropped, starting with this week's co-dropping Episode 1, well-known HR Scholar and author John Boudreau, how this Season links surprisingly quickly with previous Workplace Stories surveys, and expected recurrent themes like the role both human diversity tech will play in all this as it unfolds. There's even a gag or two (you're going to love the one about printers), all putting us in the perfect mindset for the John episode deep Hybrid Work conceptual dive. Warning: the episode contains shock information about certification. Still not sure Chris has recovered.

With more possibilities than ever for execs to exit corporate life and get 'gig work' with global clients, why should execs in larger orgs stay in the system and aspire to the role of CHRO? * What are the divisions of responsibilities between CHROs and Chief People Officers? For those listening and keen to explore the data v people routes into senior HR leadership, what are the differences in focus and duties? We do our best to ensure editorial objectivity.

Jobs are being pulled apart into tasks and projects. Degrees and credentials are being boiled down to their underlying skills and capabilities. The result is a reinvention of the way we think about work. In this episode of Get Reworked, professor John Boudreau and futurist Ravin Jesuthasan share the highlights of their forthcoming book, "Work Without Jobs." The bottom line: The automation of work is leading not to the destruction of jobs, but rather to their deconstruction. "All of those deconstructed elements are now going to live in a way on their own," said John. "They're no longer going to be exclusively bundled into jobs, job holders and degrees. And that requires mindsets, leadership approaches and HR systems that can manage and track and optimize at that deconstructed level." Highlights of the conversation include: Why we need a new operating system for work. How internal talent marketplaces can match skills to opportunities. How deconstruction can put power into the hands of workers. Why and how HR needs to shift from being a steward of employment to a steward of work. Plus, co-hosts Siobhan Fagan and Mike Prokopeak talk through the far-reaching effects of automation and what that potentially means for individual workers and society at large. Listen in for more.
