Ravin Jesuthasan & John Boudreau: Work without Jobs
Work is traditionally understood as a “job,” and workers as “jobholders.” In Work without Jobs, R. Jesuthasan and J. Boudreau propose a radically new way of looking at work. They describe a new “work operating system” that deconstructs jobs into their component parts and reconstructs these components into more optimal combinations that reflect the skills and abilities of individual workers.
The book presents real-world cases that show how leading organizations are embracing work deconstruction and reinvention. It’s time for organizations to reboot their work operating system, and Work without Jobs offers an essential guide for doing so.

- Understand the challenges your business is facing
- Reimagine creative, new approaches and processes
