“It's the end of the work as we know it, and I feel fine.”

Our colleague Joe Kornik, Editor-in-Chief of VISION by Protiviti (http://vision.protiviti.com), wrote this in his latest feature article. This is true, but there also are many questions around the future of work, how we're going to balance work schedules, when and how frequently we’ll go into the office, how we’ll leverage new and emerging technologies, and much more.

In this episode, we discuss these and other topics with Protiviti Managing Directors Andrea Spinelli and Ken Thomas. Our conversation touches on numerous future of work-related topics, specifically as they pertain to the finance organization. Andrea and Ken talk about achieving the right balance between an in-office versus hybrid work model, developing new people skills, and of course, the use of technologies in the right places. As they explain, no one said the future of work was going to be easy. Among other things, it’s about achieving the right balance, understanding where we are going to work, understanding how we are going to work, and determining what roles are going to require full-time employees versus what roles can be handled through a managed services model.

Andrea and Ken are leaders in Protiviti’s Business Performance Improvement solution, focusing on finance, transformation, managed business solutions and more.
