Humanity Works (휴머니티 웍스) is a book in which the author, Alexandra Levit—a consultant and futurist—offers insights into the future based on her own research and consulting experience.
As we prepare for a future in which the aging of the global population and falling birth rates are expected to deplete the pool of skilled professionals, and in which a lack of expertise—stemming from a failure to keep up with rapidly advancing industrial technology—is predicted to drag down productivity, we humans must think hard about how we ought to work going forward.
In response, the author lays out the characteristics of the people who will make up the future workforce, the technologies they will need to use, and the kinds of organizational environments in which they will pursue results. She also proposes, one by one and with real examples, what organizations and leaders will need in order to successfully guide their people and companies in the industrial world of 2030.
In particular, the “Spotlight” section in each chapter introduces real-world cases showing how companies and organizations apply and tackle the topic at hand. Through the author’s analysis and information, readers will be able to envision a healthy, bright future suited to their own organizations.
Humanity Works is an excellent management guide—meant to be read by future leaders as well as by today’s leaders who are responsible for cultivating them—that points the way forward for companies and individuals as they move toward 2030.
