Blended Workforce Design
In the future of work there will be still small-mid-big-giant size organizations. In the future of work people will be still active in the workforce - not just the machines do all the work. Yet there will be a great shift on how we contract with people. The blended workforce is the future of work. The future is shaped by our thoughts, discourses, actions and decisions today.
Do not think outside the box; create a new box to design your organization with blended workforce now!
Blended workforce expresses a human resources strategy that is open to working with flexible contracts and models. Instead of making up of employees in a single traditional permanent working model, seeing the workforce as an ecosystem and meeting the needs of the companies, with people who have the skills and competencies required to get the job done, when needed, and to meet their needs and expectations for as long as needed.
When it's said as blended workforce, we define the state of being blended in certain proportions of the workforce. Beyond the traditional workforce of payroll employees with indefinite contracts for a single company; outsource-subcontractor-consultant-gig employee-freelancer-part-time, periodic or fixed-term employees; it also includes technologies such as artificial intelligence and RPA (Robotic Process Automation).
​
Although some researches states that 35% of people finds blended workforce a little bit complicated in terms of leadership-management-operations capabilities, there are already companies who would like to implement a blended workforce strategy with 75% in 2021, and 66% of them already started to work in 2022.
​
What that means is Future is Now and Now is the right time to start to asses our current workforce, generate the blended workforce strategy and then design our organization accordingly to gain advantages in terms of working with best talents, cost, efficiency, and culture.

1. Discover
the Organization Culture & Readiness
First of all, we start with discovering the cultural, visionary, and operational level of current status, challenges and opportunities. Then we conduct a design thinking workshop to obverse the group dynamics within group exercises to understand the high and low capabilities to customize survey questions and segmentation. Then we design and run the Digital Thinking Score assessment customly designed for you to be able to understand the maturity and make the analysis before generating strategy.

3. Design
the Blended Workforce Map
After the outcomes of the Blended Workforce Strategy, the Prioritization study will be done for Blended Workforce for the current and future requirement in 2 main strategies (Keep Them & Contract Them) in 4 dimensions.
​
Afterwards we advice organizations to determine Strategy Execution Plan for Blended Workforce (It might cover assessing & selecting talents/consultants, orientation program for organization's direct and in-direct stakehgolders about blended workforce, contract design, onboarding, and monitoring-evaluation)
