Strategically Managing Work Across and Beyond Organizational Boundaries
Strategically Managing Work Across and Beyond Organizational Boundaries
Research shows that orchestrating a workforce ecosystem is a multifaceted effort that involves integration among many business functions. In mature legacy organizations in particular, we see companies changing basic management practices around how they access, engage, and develop workers; we see leaders adapting to a changing workforce where they have more contributors but less control. In some cases, we see upwards of 30%-50% of an organization composed of contingent workers, and organizations increasingly relying on third parties to deliver some of their most essential services.
This research finds that as organizations increasingly rely on both internal and external contributors, successful leaders are recognizing the complexity of these workforce ecosystems and adapting their management practices to support these new systems.
