In order to be successful in the current economic minefield and with the political arena in many countries uncertain, companies need to show greater levels of flexibility to ensure they meet the needs of their people and customers.
The regular work we once use to rely on has significantly changed and projects and one-off launches have become a greater part of our annual business plans. This less predictable work routine calls for different and better ways of managing the workload.
As a result of the changes in business trends, there has been a rise in freelancers and remote workers and companies have been moving more towards the implementation of policies and procedures to work with agile talent.
Organisations will need to train their managers to effectively onboard and utilise the agile talent to complete projects more efficiently while maintaining a strong organisational culture and securing the buy in necessary to deliver a successful project on time and to a very high quality standard.
This thinking is away from traditional workplace practices but is essential if you want to maintain your competitive edge
