Calm seas today!

Many are talking about it – liquid labour, and the liquid workforce.

Embracing these emerging realities will mean rewiring your business towards a “liquid workforce”, organizing more and more complex pools of internal, virtual and external talent around project-oriented teams and business priorities. What sounds deceivingly simple and operational, in fact entails a ground-up organizational and governance transformation that will surely impact the agenda of every CEO and senior executive.

At ICG, we’ve done a lot of thinking about this issue. And, have done it – our entire business model is based on liquid labour concepts powered by our global labour and components platform.

In our work, questions arise like:

§ Under which conditions is the liquid workforce appropriate as a talent model?

§ What are successful solutions at enterprise, divisional and program/project level?

§ How are decisions made in the new organization? How do you coordinate activities?

§ Which companies will be the winners, and who will lose out?

§ What are the long-term political and social implications?

We understand the answers, are experts in the field, and ask the right questions.
