Imran Ali of WebWorkerDaily wrote a great series last week titled “The Future of Work” covering the evolving workforce, the need for statisticians and the growing use of statistical analysis to tell stories, work-group methodologies, and a report about trending behaviors of small businesses and freelances. The whole series is worth reading as it lays out key talking points for a discussion about the future of the workplace environment. The following list outlines Ali’s series on WebWorkerDaily:
- The Future of Work: Will Right-Brained Workers Own the 21st Century?
A review of Daniel H. Pink and the conceptual age of work through six aptitudes Design, Story, Symphony, Empathy, Play, and Meaning. - The Future of Work: It’s Data, Baby Information on the growing need for statisticians and extracting stories from data.
