Jobs are giving way to skills as the currency of work to ensure a more agile, resilient, and flexible enterprise that cannot just respond but must thrive in the face of these challenges. This pivot from jobs to skills will require us to rethink everything we know about work. Building on his bestselling book Work without Jobs, Ravin Jesuthasan returns, this time with coauthor Tanuj Kapilashrami, an international human resources leader, to provide the framework organizations need to thrive in a world demanding perpetual reinvention.Many business and management books focus on individual skills and competencies, the power of AI to make companies more agile through enabling internal gigs, and the societal and policy implications of the external gig economy.

Jesuthasan and Kapilashrami describe the need for new organizational capabilities like work design and AIdriven resourcing, as well as the need to reinvent current work systems, to realize the agility, productivity, and valuecreating potential of an organization where skills are at the center of its operating model.Providing a stepby step guide for both new and seasoned leaders, this practical and informative book shows just how to futureproof organizations for the postfourth industrial revolution world.
