Description

The nature of work is undergoing tremendous changes, influenced by aging populations, the digital revolution, and a paradigm shift away from Fordism. Laetitia Vitaud, author of “Du Labeur à l’ouvrage (From Labour to Work),” and Azeem Azhar discuss how the reinvention of craftsmanship is creating a new deal to ensure more equitable, sustainable, and fulfilling jobs.

In this podcast, they also discuss:

• How Silicon Valley is bringing back the values of craftsmanship.
• What the single most important skill in the new world of work is.
• Why the jobs of tomorrow will largely be in proximity services.
