Work  2.0  giving  and  taking  

Chris  Boos  (@boosc)  arago  AG  –  the  Automa?on  Experts

The  Image  of  Work  2.0  

Everyone  if  doing  whatever  they  want,  whenever  they  want  and  all  that  is  

happening  in  a  fantas?c  environment  at  exorbitant  pay-­‐grades  

Page 3: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 If  you  are  feeling  tense  at  Google…  you  can  go  and  get  a  massage…..      

Page 4: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 At  W.L.  Gore  the  staff  elect  their  CEO  to  avoid  the  Peter  Principle…  

Page 5: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 A  movie  suggested  to  us  that  being  able  to  hold  your  drink  will  get  you  a  good  engineering  job  at  facebook…  

Page 6: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 And  as  a  CEO  of  a  hot  startup  in  Berlin  you  spend  your  day  in  a  coffee  shop  chaQng….  

Page 7: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Why  Are  We  Talking  about    Work  2.0  

Modern  day  work  is  mostly  cogni?ve.  Working  models  crea?ng  favorable  condi?ons  for  physical  work  do  not  

necessarily  work  for  thes  requirements  

Page 8: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Jobs  with  great  perspec?ve,  jobs  that  developed  countries  have  to  offer  need  brains,  not  bodies!  

Page 9: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Unfortunately  brains  and  bodies  are  not  always  connected…  And  we  no  longer  just  need  the  bodies,  so  we  have  to  aWract  the  brains…  

Page 10: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 To  avoid  misunderstanding:    

We  need  brains,  because  we  need  results.  Thus  the  brains  we  want  to  aWract  need  to  produce  results…  

Page 11: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 The  1st  law  of  behavioral  physics  tells  us:    Brains  do  not  create  results  upon  request  

Page 12: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Conclusion:    

It  is  an  economic  necessity  to  create  environments  to  increase  the  likelihood  of  good  results  from  brains  

Page 13: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Fantas?c,  Isn’t  It?  

Only  if  you  actually  produce  results  and  only  if  you  enjoy  what  you  are  doing.  Otherwise  you  will  break!  

Page 14: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 1.  No  waterfall  plan  2.  You  have  as  

much  free  ?me  as  you  like  

3.  You  choose  your  work  

4.  There  are  lots  of  services  to  make  you  feel  warm  and  fuzzy  

   

Page 15: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 1.  You  cannot  hide  

behind  procedures,  you  are  responsible  for  your  results  

2.  No  results  means  you  are  out  

3.  Noone  tells  you  what  to  do  

4.  No  geQng  used  to  things  

 

Page 16: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Besides  the  Fun,  What  Does  Work  2.0  Mean  for  Teams?  

People  have  to  work  at  high  energy  levels  and  they  have  to  work  together,  rely  on  each  other  and  get  things  done.  

Page 17: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Since  you  cannot  accomplish  much  by  yourself  and  all  your  colleagues  are  as  free  as  you  are,  you  will  have  to  make  yourself  fully  transparent  to  your  team  

Page 18: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 You  will  be  compared  and  measured  every  step  of  the  way,  because  that  is  the  only  way  create  a  just  load  distribu?on  within  a  team  

Page 19: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Unless  you  want  to  work  double  without  any  recogni?on  or  reward,  you  will  have  to  speak  up  about  lazy  or  incompetent  colleagues  

Page 20: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Your  problems  are  your  problems.      

And  unless  you  show  some  selflessness  and  help  your  colleagues  at  your  own  expense  from  ?me  to  ?me  you  will  have  to  solve  your  problems  yourself    

Page 21: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 You  will  have  to  deliver  –  at  your  own  expense  (i.e.  ?me)  or  your  colleagues  will  diss  you  because  you  slow  them  down  and  make  the  team  look  bad.  If  you  want  help,  you  will  have  to  give  help.    

Page 22: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Confused  Yet?    Is  Work  2.0  Good  or  Bad  Now?  

As  everything  in  life  the  new  way  of  working  has  upsides  and  downsides.  You  have  to  be  aware  of  them  and  for  yourself  the  upsides  

have  to  outweigh  the  downsides.  

Page 23: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Good,  if  you…  1.  are  curious  2.  are  passionate  3.  consider  work  

part  of  your  life  4.  can  mo?vate  

yourself  5.  love  success  6.  want  to  be  beWer  

than  others  7.  s?ll  want  to  wok  

in  a  team      

Page 24: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Not  good,  if  you…  1.  you  are  working  

to  fund  your  life  2.  have  a  job  you  

do  not  like  3.  like  to  hide  

behind  processes  or  bosses  

4.  are  trying  to  produce  something  only  you  like  and  others  don’t  

 

Page 25: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 From  a  global  perspec?ve  you  will  have  to  admit:  1.  The  giant  

compensa?on  we  get  in  developed  countries  are  only  jus?fiable,  if  we  do  outstanding  and  new  stuff  

2.  Me  too  stuff  can  be  produced  elsewhere  at  half  the  cost  

Page 26: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Stop  whining  how  unfair  companies  are  who  move  jobs  to  cheaper  places.    

You  do  the  same  thing    when  shopping  –  every  day!  

Page 27: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

But  when  this  is  your  cup  of  tea,  you  are  

lucky…  

Page 28: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

By  design  you  are  constantly  improving  

 

Page 29: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

By  default  you  know  what  you  are  doing  and  why  you  are  doing  it  And  you  can  realte  to  your  work!  

Page 30: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

You  can  really  choose  what  you  do,  how  much  you  do    and  when  you  do  it  

 

Page 31: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

You  work  in  a  team  of  helpful  people    

Page 32: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

You  are  not  surrounded  by  idiots    

Page 33: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Your  junior  colleagues  want  to  learn  from  you,  they  do  not  want  your  job  

 

Page 34: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Work  2.0  in  arago’s  product  development  team,  an  evolu?onary

Page 41: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

 Housekeeping:    

-­‐  If  no  one  wants  to  work  with  you,  you  are  out.  The  team  gets  to  decide.

Conclusions  

You  have  endured  only  42  slides…    Do  you  want  the  big  picture?  

Page 44: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

Working  2.0  is  not  for  everyone…    

Page 45: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

If  it  is  not  for  you,  you  are  kind  of  unlucky,  because  your  job  is  likely  to  be  moved  to  a  place  where  whatever  you  

do  can  be  produced  cheaper.      

That  is  if  you  are  not  selling  local  services.    

 

Page 46: Work 2.0 Give and Take, Chris Boos, Arago AG

But  if  Working  2.0  is  for  you,  you  gain  beyond  and  measure,  because  you  will  do  your  work  as  a  happy  person.
