Imagination at work.

GE and Innovation How the Future of Work is Being Reimagined

The Future of Work

2

The pace of innovation

is accelerating,

driven by three hugely

disruptive forces,

which constitute a

new technological

revolution: the

Future of Work.

Industrial Internet is the merger of software and hardware, big data and big iron, the integration of cloud-based analytics and industrial machinery.

Advanced Manufacturing is the

digital thread that

links together design, product engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, distribution, and remanufacturing (or servicing) into one

cohesive and

intelligent system. 4

The Global Brain

The collective intelligence of human

beings across the globe, integrated by

digital communication networks.

5

The Future of Work is about speed and collaboration; it redefines the relationship between employers, who get access to a wider pool of talent, and workers, who gain greater entrepreneurial control over their skills and careers. Changing what work is, and how we do that work
