Co-authors, Tim Houlne, CEO of Working Solutions, and Terri Maxwell, CEO of Succeed on Purpose, spotlight three technology-based trends driving The New World of Work.

Together, these workforce advancements have triggered a business evolution and entrepreneurial career mindset that will forever change the global labor and economic market.

"From cloud computing and crowdsourcing to instant access with mobile devices, the New World of Work revolution is unavoidable in our always-on society," said Maxwell. "We spotlight case studies of businesses leveraging technology to create unique value propositions and uncover bottom line savings. Readers will be inspired to explore new business, career and talent models driven by a cloud-based world and a workforce motivated by its passion for the work, rather than the location of the job."
