We are witnessing the biggest economic, social and demographic shifts in history. Aging and shrinking populations will result in fewer workers, innovators, and consumers while the emerging markets in hypergrowth areas will reinvent how business has been done and revolutionize the workforce of the future. We are now immersed in the fourth phase of globalisation, what I like to call the globalisation of the corporate brain, which is about co-creation and talent for companies. The new workforce will overturn many traditional attitudes about workers, working, and the workplace. But to assess what these changes entail, we need to think globally.
