About Tom Cooke
Chief collaboration architect, disruptor and translator - age old collaboration generally focuses on using collaboration to support sale or use of service or product. Now governments and businesses and how they interoperate through collaboration are rethinking the definition of work. Advancements in AI and machine learning will continue to challenge the notion of human based work and what work will be left as more of it becomes automated. User centered design strategies will continually be challenged as the question will be changing constantly to how the human interacts with a system, product, service or environment. To build the talent pool that remains employed as this disruption to typical work and collaboration occurs, businesses and governments will need to collaborate for talent and not compete for it. Traditional recruiting and hiring practices where talent is “locked in” with one employer will need to give way to a more “open source” platform where intellectual capital can move more freely.
