Advancing Kaiser Permanente’s Workforce of the Future Initiative




Shape your future

The 2017 Workforce of the Future Conference highlighted the need for continuous learning at Kaiser Permanente. Constant change is the new normal as we enter the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which integrates work with rapidly changing technology such as artificial intelligence. Our challenge: Adapt to new technologies and evolving work processes to grow jobs and improve health. We need to be able to work with diverse teams and engage with our communities. Inspired by the morning panel, participants developed eight themes for 2018 Workforce of the Future initiatives, including accelerating apprenticeships and experimenting with new learning approaches such as reverse mentoring.

We look forward to turning these ideas into action and seeing you at the 2018 Workforce of the Future Conference.

The United States had decades to prepare for the last industrial revolution but only has a few years to prepare for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The "slope of the curve" is sharp and jolting. Technology such as artificial intelligence will impact all industries, especially transportation. A range of jobs will be lost, but other jobs will be created. Few people comprehend the impact of this change and need for new venues for learning. To share solutions, WorkingNation has gathered 600 initiatives changing the future.

In the past, skills lasted a lifetime and career paths were clear. Technology and globalization are transforming the content, approach and speed of learning, turning us all into newbies. The ability to adapt to shifting circumstances is more important than actual intelligence. We need a more social view of learning. Technology will be integrated into work and learning. Technology can relieve us of routine tasks, giving us more time to imagine solutions to our complex problems. The future is full of adventure.

Reviews

what people say

I thought that he (John Seely Brown) was very engaging, and founds his thoughts on learning to be very useful.
Attendee Kaiser Permanente - Georgia
Great to hear another health care system's experience with a labor-management partnership. Sandi Vito, in particular, connected well with the audience. It would have been better to have more comparisons with KP, more details on how to overcome barriers.
Attendee Kaiser Permenete Oakland
Lynn and Sandi's input was invaluable. The concern comes with how to imitate their best practices throughout KP, which is vastly larger in size.
Attendee SEIU-UHW Education Fund
Really enjoyed his (John Seely Brown) enthusiasm. Again, excellent speaker on an important topic. I wish I could have gone to both breakout sessions!
Attendee BHMT Southern California
His (John Seely Brown) presentation, I thought, was the most provocative at all.
Attendee SEIU Ed Fund Colorado
Art's talk was excellent; especially liked his Working Nation's Slope-of-the-Curve video which was very informative and thought provoking
Attendee Kaiser Permanente Northern California
Presentation was engaging and relevant to Kaiser's future growth.
Attendee Kaiser Permanente Mid Atlantic States
I will be speaking about this conference at several meetings that I intend in order to promote its ideas and concepts.

Networking with our colleages from sister KP regions was great!
