In this episode of RMIT University FORWARD Hot Takes, Peter Thomas talks to RMIT Industry Fellows Serafina Maiorano, global leadership strategist and founder of Our Global Table, and Stowe Boyd, work ecologist and founder of Work Futures, about what happens when the centre of opportunity for skilled work shifts—not just away from traditional industries, but away from the West entirely. For decades, high-value jobs in sectors like engineering, tech, and finance were concentrated in cities like Sydney, Boston, and London. But that's changing. Companies aren't just outsourcing anymore: they're building their workforces where the talent already is - in places like India, where over a million engineers graduate each year. In the last few years, tech giants have expanded their presence in Indian cities because of access to skilled talent at scale, which many Western countries are struggling to provide. Meanwhile, immigration policies have tightened, making it increasingly difficult for foreign professionals to relocate to the West. Are we witnessing a global inversion of opportunity? Could it soon make more sense for young professionals to study and work in Bangalore, not Boston?

We need to debunk leadership – often, a toxic set of obsolete behaviors. How to end our addiction to this model? Work anthropologist Stowe Boyd analyzes what's going on in organizations and in society. You will learn about control, governance and democracy at work; the “woowoo” that fails to engage people; and promising new operating models. Our conversation opens unconventional ways to approach work in a changing world.See the show notes on my website for quotes, more info and links.Connect with Stowe on Medium https://stoweboyd.medium.com/ and Mastodon https://mastodon.social/@stoweboyd@toolsforthought.rocks and Twitter https://twitter.com/stoweboyd and LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/stoweboyd/ Curious to use these ideas in your work?

Stowe Boyd has been studying work and the tools we use to adapt to the future for the past three decades. Stowe coined the terms ‘hashtag', ‘work management', ‘social tools', and ‘spreadbase'.

S1E04: rewilding Peter Thomas talks to Stowe Boyd, one of the FORWARD Fellows, who is a work ecologist and Chief Scientist at Workfutures, an exploration of critical themes in the ecology of work and the anthropology of the future. In this conversation, Stowe and Peter talk about 'rewilding' organisations: essentially the idea that while organizations are seen through the lens of process optimisation, they are in fact underpinned by complex social networks, where individuals and groups are connected to others in an ecology. The benefit of seeing organisations as ecologies - and letting them thrive through rewilding - is to increase their resilience: natural ecosystems with more weak ties and more incidental interactions are more resilient, something that would seem to be essential in the midst of a polycrisis. Listen in as Stowe unpacks rewilding, and many other topics, in this wide-ranging discussion of alternatives to the conventional management discourse about organizations.

Stowe describes his calling as “the ecology of work and the anthropology of the future”. He’s founder of Work Futures, where he explores critical themes of the future of work, and top writer in Economics, Leadership and Futures on Medium. He also writes extensively about work technologies and serves as a Gigaom editor.In our conversation, we talk about how platforms contribute to changing the relationship between consumers and producers and how this — in turn — leads to re-shaping organizations, as firms optimize for a low transaction cost economy. We also talk about fairness and the importance of distributed governance to be transparent and reliable, allowing the players in an ecosystem to operate without constantly “covering their backs”.How to find Stowe Boyd and his work:> Medium: https://medium.com/@stoweboyd> Work Futures: https://workfutures.org/Mentions and references:> Rent the Runway: https://www.renttherunway.com/> Amoeba Management | Management Philosophy | KYOCERA, https://global.kyocera.com/philosophy/amoeba.html> Stanley McChrystal, Chris Fussell, Tantum Collins, David Silverman (2015): Team of Teams: New Rules of Engagement for a Complex Worldhttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22529127-team-of-teams> Carlota Perez social and economic impact of technical change (including S curves): http://www.carlotaperez.org/>Follow the work of Ben Evans and Ben Thompson: https://www.ben-evans.com/newsletter; https://stratechery.com/> "In all chaos, there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order." - Carl Jung, https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/carl_jung_157280> Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic and Cindy Gallop in HBR on female leadership https://hbr.org/2020/04/7-leadership-lessons-men-can-learn-from-women> Participatory City: http://www.participatorycity.org/about Music by liosound.Recorded on April 3rd 2020

This week it's a deep dive into futurist Stowe Boyd's research on Social Scaling, Boundless Curiosity, Deep Generalists, Emergent Leadership, and other major features in the metamorphic landscape of the 21st Century workplace.We live in an age when our human cognitive limits are being tested against a proliferation of possibilities in the digital space – and we zealously rush into always-on internet work, open office co-working spaces, enormous distributed online collaborations, and other novelties that seem to be more about the infinite capacity of our electronic tools than the finite reality of our minds and bodies.Stowe Boyd has been studying and reporting on the future of work for over a decade, and his blog Work Futures is one of my cherished news sources for understanding how “we shape our tools and then our tools shape us.” Talking with him is a blast of cool reason and warm humor about the insanity of the modern work environment and the impossible demands that it makes on us – pointing toward more lucid, grounded, manageable, and yes productive new modes of labor in the dizzying technological milieus to come.Learn More:StoweBoyd.comWorkFutures.orgCheck out a recent edition of his Work Futures newsletter:https://workfutures.substack.com/p/work-futures-daily-the-human-springSupport Future Fossils on Patreon and get access to secret episodes, our sci fi book club, and more:https://patreon.com/michaelgarfieldWe Discuss:Invented the term “social tools” and founded the Work Futures blog.How do we live in an unstable landscape in which new platforms are constantly replacing the ones where we’ve established merit and earned currencies?The return of publishing to human scale as a response to ubiquitous weaponized advertising.Book: Douglas Rushkoff, Present ShockThe modern era of social networking isn’t about social concerns but business concerns…human curation returns to the fore in its primacy: newsletters, list management, etc.Why is it that certain tools and practices “work” for work, and some don’t?How certain ill-conceived collaboration software recreates the scaling problems of cruiseship tourism’s effects on local economies.Anywhere-ism and “The horrible sameness of the places we’re working these days”The paradox of blocking out open-office distractions with recordings of people talking in cafés.“If you want to be creative, turn the lights down.

The most creative people are insatiably curious. They want to know what works and why. And so that’s the skill you should seek. If you’re not naturally insatiably curious, then you should learn the techniques and skills involved with that and practice that so that you’re acting as if you’re insatiably curious, even though it’s a learned and not innate characteristic.”How curiosity leads to unexpected second-order insights in at-first “unrelated” areas.Bill Taylor, founder of Fast Company Magazine: four styles of leadership useful today.The leader as a learning zealot.The posthuman workplace: collaboration with radically other entities, be they AIs or transgenic persons.The future of work looks like freestyle chess.How and why to be a “deep generalist.”“There’s still a lot of the Bronze Age in how typical companies are run…Bronze Age thinking is still 70% of companies.”Emergent Leadership 21st Century Management, and Liquid Democracy.AI and technological unemployment – a kind of “tragedy of the commons” as we each try to do the best thing for our organizations and race to the bottom.Book: Amy Goldstein, JanesvilleThe collision of AI, climate change, and the collapse of globalist neoliberalism.Book: William Irwin Thompson, Evil and World Order“You have to start thinking about things at the watershed level. When you’re thinking about geography, it can’t just be the outlines of nation states, which are the remnants of old empires and other kinds of craziness. It has to have some logical relationship to the actual world, and that means city states, watersheds, and so on. And when you have that mindset and start to see through that lens, well, the desire of the Catalonian people to have their own state – it seems like an inexorable direction, and the notion that the EU is resisting that, fighting it, well…they’re fighting the future.”The end of trucking and the inevitable riots.Book: Project Hieroglyph, edited by Neal StephensonUsing science fiction instead of futurist scenarios to make different futures truly palpable.Three Visions of the future: Humania, Neo-Feudalistan, & “Just Horrible.”“You can’t talk about the future of work without talking about the future in general, and the future in general is not just more of what we have today. It’s certainly not what we had in 1970.”––Cover Image Photo Credit: (CC) Brian Solis, www.briansolis.com, bub.blicio.us See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Self-proclaimed to be obsessed with the ecology of work, Boyd takes us through how we can more effectively design the future of our own work, with a little foresight and planning.

In this episode, host Brian Solis interviews Stowe Boyd, a futurist and editor-in-chief at Work Futures, about how companies are missing the mark on digital transformation by thinking about it from an industrial approach instead of a humanities-based approach. In a wide-ranging discussion, Boyd shares his thoughts on the inherent bias in social media and how we have to do more than being aware to counteract it. He also shares how orgs can capitalize on the groundswell created by change agents, no matter where they sit in the organization, and move from an industrialization mindset into a future of work mindset.
