The Center for the Future of Work has a charter to examine how work is changing, and will change, in response to the emergence of new technologies, new business practices, and new workers. Established by the technology services company Cognizant the Center for the Future of Work provides original research and analysis of work trends and dynamics and collaborates with a wide range of business and technology thinkers and academics about what the future of work will look as technology changes so many aspects of our working lives.   All around us a new world is being created in front of our very eyes by the collision of four macro, long term trends:

1.      The ongoing, unstoppable growth of globalization

2.      The “virtualization” of organizations

3.      The “platform” provided by the Internet and the new generation of “net-native” technology

4.      The rise of the millennial generation
