The New World of Work
As most Americans were recovering from the 2008 financial sector meltdown, our global economy spawned an entirely new way of organizing work. As a result, jobs disappeared, but the work did not. Instead, it moved into the cloud. Now, there are literally no limits to what, how, and where work can be performed. These changing patterns have transformed jobs as work moves seamlessly across the globe, oblivious to borders.

At the heart of the New World of Work: From the Cube to the Cloud are three powerful workforce trends: work has been fractionalized, careers have been virtualized, and talent has become globalized. If you’ve been struggling to find work, or find it difficult to secure the best talent for your company, then this book is for you. It is the map to a brave new world where companies compete for talent, and workers compete for jobs, globally.

Those who embrace this trend are maximizing new opportunities, revolutionizing industries, and creating generations of wealth—all because they could see the benefits of the change. Smart companies can leverage the global talent marketplace and clever professionals can use the cloud to take high-demand skills to this new market. The New World of Work: From the Cube to the Cloud provides the knowledge to propel careers and businesses forward.

Among other things, in this book you will learn:

How to understand next- generation work
How to identify new-world careers
How to become a VirtualpreneurTM
How to compete for virtual talent 
in your business
