Future of Work







Welcome to the Future of work
Future of Work is an active global community of organizations and individuals who believe in the power and importance of collective intelligence in creating the future of work. Our focus is on the changing nature of work, the workforce, the workplace, technology, and management practice.

The Work Design Collaborative, LLC (WDC), founded in 2001 by Charlie Grantham and Jim Ware, manages Future of Work. We are a research and advisory firm with a single mission: helping create the future of work.

That mission translates into four primary capabilities:

  1. Developing Knowledge
  2. Improving bottom-line performance
  3. Creating new workplaces
  4. Building communities

We help organizations reduce their cost of operations and workforce support by 40% or more while creating work environments that attract and retain the best and brightest talent - by providing strategic guidance, change readiness assessments, executive learning, and program management.

We also work with local communities and regional economic development agencies to address their challenges of attracting and retaining talent. We are particularly focused on developing shared work centers - we call them Business Community CentersTM - that provide facilities and services to remote and mobile employees of large organizations as well as to "free agents" and small businesses.

We welcome inquiries about how you and your organization can benefit from becoming part of our extended community and embracing the future of work. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
