Three groundbreaking books exploring AI and work innovation.
The Intelligent Workforce:
How Humans and Machines Will Cocreate a Better Future
A decade ago, Tim Houlne foresaw a shift from traditional office setups to cloud-based, remote work in “The New World of Work.” Initially met with resistance, the COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed widespread acceptance of remote work. In his latest work, “The Intelligent Workforce,” Houlne argues we’re on the brink of another transformative era where digital integration blurs human-machine boundaries. Despite technological strides like smartphones and digital files, many executives lag in understanding the imminent rise of AI and its impact on jobs. Houlne stresses the necessity for businesses to embrace AI to thrive, envisioning a future where human intuition complements machine precision. He advocates proactive adaptation to these changes to foster symbiotic growth rather than fear automation’s potential.

AI and ML will continue to advance the workforce, but true innovation will always require “humans in the loop” along all parts of team solutions. This book speaks to the emerging field and is a valuable perspective on how and where the community should proceed.
The New World of Work:
The Cube, The Cloud and What’s Next
As most Americans were recovering from the 2008 financial sector meltdown, our global economy spawned an entirely new way of organizing work. As a result, jobs disappeared, but the work did not. Instead, it moved to the cloud. The shift to a virtual workforce was subtle and slow to adapt until the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way the world worked.
Now, there are literally no limits to what, how, and where work can be performed. These changing patterns have transformed jobs as work moves seamlessly across the globe, oblivious to borders or locations.
The New World of Work:
From the Cube to the Cloud
In “The New World of Work: From the Cube to the Cloud,” Tim Houlne and Terri Maxwell outline a paradigm shift akin to the 1930s’ move from farms to factories, but this time from offices to the cloud. They identify three transformative workforce trends: fractionalized work, virtualized careers, and globalized talent. Whether you’re struggling to find work or seeking top talent, this book serves as a guide to navigating a competitive global landscape where companies vie for talent and workers seek opportunities worldwide. Drawing on over two decades of leadership experience, Houlne and Maxwell offer insights into reshaping career and talent strategies for the future.
