The Inside Gig
Read the only playbook written to implement a talent marketplace and unlock the hidden skills within your organization to keep your employees engaged and continuously learning, improve your organization’s agility, and lower your costs.
Employees often have capabilities and aspirations that go far beyond their current job descriptions. The Inside Gig will show you how to optimize and energize your workforce by deploying the skills of the employees you already have across organizational boundaries.
“Making better use of our existing talent is a huge opportunity for employers, and The Inside Gig is the first book to show us how.”
The war for talent is changing. The winners previously focused on acquiring the best, traditionally through hiring of full-time employees, more recently, relying on the gig economy by contracting outside freelancers. However, in the near future, companies that will win in the marketplace will be experts at deploying the skills they already have inside their organization.
Artificial intelligence is eliminating jobs faster than available talent can learn new skills, increasing the critical need to reimagine and re-skill internal workforces. Compounding this evolution is the emergence of new skill domains that have created an imbalance of supply versus demand. Acquiring crucial skills from on-demand external platforms won’t suffice because there won’t be an ample supply of them.
