10 Organisational predictions for 2010

1. Employees Demand More Involvement. The trend continues for employees to want greater involvement in the workplace. And greater involvement means greater commitment and more action.

2. Leaders Get Tougher. As the economy gets tougher and businesses demand more from their leaders, leaders themselves will demand more from their people as well as their colleagues.

3. Teamwork Is Key. How well individuals perform in a team is vital. Dysfunctional teams will damage rather than strengthen your business.

4. Weak Links Weeded Out. People who don't perform will need to be retrained or weeded out, as organizations require everyone to operate at full capacity.

5. You Are Your Own Brand! How others view you and what you stand for will become even more critical, with self-awareness and self-appraisal being key to success.

6. Creativity From The Ground Up. The best ideas are in the heads of our customer facing staff. Unleashing this often untapped potential becomes ever more crucial.

7. More Demanded From Consultants. The climate for consultants gets tougher. They must provide greater value for money and leave their clients with newfound skills that they can use after they have gone.

8. Partnerships Flourish. Finding and using specialists that can help you to achieve your goals is key.

9. Consider Yourself Self-Employed. The concept of everyone thinking of himself or herself as self employed becomes more critical. What are you worth? How much value do you really add? Would you employ yourself in your business?

10. Reward Where It Is Due. Top performers will still be rewarded and incentive schemes will become even more essential in motivating and keeping your best people.

How inventions will change in the future. How inventions will change in the future. - I just finished re-reading Richard Worzel's 'The Next 20 Years of Your Life." Originally published in 1997 (and purchased) I found it incredible to re-read this piece and see how dead on this man is as a futurist. Now, not all of his predictions came true but there is a ton of information around the ideas of a online social network and a world where anyone with a video camera can become a producer. Sound like facebook and youtube? One of the really interesting things I found was that Mr. Worzel has an amazing ability to articulate human behaviour in trends and through analysis. I especially found his comment, 'when women truly become the worlds next leaders, the development of technology for the sake of technology will stop.' Hmm....I doubt that. Does anyone have a favourite futurist they like to watch and listen too? Jude
