About Our Book
The book is presented in four parts across eight chapters. Each chapter provides a mix of facts, research, case studies, tools and prompts to help the reader address the question of what can they do in practical terms to help future-proof themselves and their organizations in the changing world of work.
Part 1
“The Changing World of Work and the Agility Challenge” examines the shifts and trends apparent in the world of work and how they have intensified in recent years. We explore what the Future of Work means in practical terms and how can it be broken down at individual and organisational level. The case for Agility as a core capability for future of work readiness is discussed and we explore the challenges and benefits of Agility and how it can be managed.
Part 2
“The Future Ready Organisation” explores the practical realities and implications of the Future of Work at the wider organisational level. We discuss the emergence of a New Employment Deal, as well its implications, challenges and opportunities for leaders, employees and for HR. We look at the future role of the leader and of HR in shaping the new world of work.
Part 3
“Future-Fit and Future-Ready” focuses on Future of Work readiness and Agility at the individual level. We look at the elements and the benefits of an agile mindset – and skillset – and how these can help to proactively manage uncertainty and change with purpose and confidence. The research-based elements of a personal agility are explored to demonstrate how individuals can – and already are – successfully navigating the challenges and opportunities presented by the changing world of work.
Part 4
“A Call to Action for the Future” examines the emerging choices for navigating the Future of Work at the societal level, especially in relation to areas such as ESG, education and employment policy. We explore what is needed from all of us as a society to proactively create a work environment where no one is left behind and for “good work” to thrive into the future. Finally, Your Call to Action summarizes the key messages from the book and outlines five practical steps you can take in navigating your own path into the Future of Work.
Personality Agility Radar
The WorkMatters Personal Agility Radar (PAR). Personal Agility refers to the individual qualities and attributes associated with agile performance and effectiveness. The presence of these research-based qualities are necessary for working effectively in an agile work environment – and they also help build greater self-awareness of the qualities needed to adapt and succeed in the changing world of work.

WorkMatters has developed a model and associated assessment tool that summarises these qualities, through extensive primary research and analysis of demonstrated and validated individual Agile behaviour, backed up by decades of academic research on workforce Agility. The instrument was further validated in recent years through Trinity College Dublin and with leaders and industry experts on organisational Agility from around the world. The Personal Agility Radar helps individuals to explore their own individual agility across 17 personal agile competences under 6 dimensions covering two broad domains (personal and social).
Organizational Agility Tools (S.C.O.P.E.)
The WorkMatters Organisational Agility tool (S.C.O.P.E.) provides leaders with a quick and accessible tool to conduct an overall evaluation of Organisational Agility covering all the key dimensions of Organisational Agility – Strategic, Culture & Leadership, Operational, People and External Focus.
