WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE GREAT RESIGNATION AND QUIET QUITTING?
- Economic changes put the leverage back into management’s hands
- Everything gets re-evaluated when budgets get tightened
- Managers look to offload accountability to external sources
HOW TO COMMUNICATE VALUE vs PRODUCTIVITY vs COST SAVINGS
- Many companies look at AI as a 1:1 replacement for tasks and people vs. looking at it to augment people.
- Companies outsourced IT in the late 1990s and early 2000s, hollowing out IT. Will that become a new trend in the 2020s again?
- Today’s engineers see things like low-code as not being viable, but see AI as being a way to augment their work (not replace it).
- Do companies know how to determine what isn’t differentiated vs. requiring creativity or can create differentiation?
- Workers have had quite a bit of freedom of movement for the last 10+ years. Will that continue into the next decade? How much does the remote-work trend impact this?
- Gartner expects 75% of needed IT roles will go unfulfilled by 2030 (up from 25% in 2023)
- Big companies (e.g. Amazon) are pushing back on remote-work demands from workers.
