@Bersin: "The concept of a job, as we know it, is starting to go away" and it is not the catastrophic prediction of Rifkin on the end of the work (@Amazon). This is nowdays reality coming from studies and research: job is evolving, becoming more fluid, less structured, much less based on pure competencies and knowledge (which are now commodities).
It was predictable as technologies are evolving and growing fast in their abilities to aggregate, analyze and deliver information, which make large part of human jobs based on information analysis, manipulation and sharing less crucial. But also with evolution of communication technologies and habits, which allows to make the talent pool to fish much larger (and cheaper), jobs with pure knowledge content, could become a commodity: would we need more somebody who has mastery on how a logistic chain works or somebody who has proven being able to overcome issues out of increasing complexity of cost transportation?
A lot of variables are embedded in every job, in every project nowadays, with thousand possibilities. And they change in the range of hours. Agility in this context is much more crucial than mastery. Innovation and networking are much more valuable than degrees and academic honors.
End of the job as we know it?

Il destino è quel che è
All'incrocio tra le tue capacità ed i bisogni del mondo giace il tuo destino, diceva Socrate
“We don't find happiness by looking within. We go outside and immerse in the world. We are called to a higher purpose by the inescapable circumstances that are laid out on our path. It's our daily struggles that define us and bring out the best in us, and this lays down the foundation to continuously find fulfillment in what we do even when times get tough. HAPPINESS comes from the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, and what the world needs.. Su HBR, nell'articolo To find happiness forget about passions ci ricordano - ancora una volta - la differenza tra gli hobby (le passioni autoreferenziali che servono al nostro relax ed al nostro edonismo) ed il "purpose" individuale: applicare capacità personali uniche a grossi problemi.
Seth Godin on the world changes
When the world changes It's painful, expensive, time-consuming, stressful and ultimately pointless to work overtime to preserve your dying business model. All the lobbying, the lawsuits, the ad campaigns and most of all, the hand-wringing, aren't going to change anything at all. […] Again and again the WINNERS are individuals and organizations that spot opportunities in the next thing, as opposed to those that would demonize, marginalize or illegalizeSeth Godin (http://sethgodin.typepad.com/) non dice niente di nuovo, eppure è una lezione millenaria che pochi hanno imparato.
Un 90% di inutili fannulloni?
