The Future of Engineering Work - Increasing Flexibility in Work Content, Environment and Processes

Hannele Lampela, Jorma Papinniemi

2013

Abstract

This article presents an exploratory study of the trends affecting engineering work in the future, and their implications for managing engineering processes within companies. In many industries, the future workplace will be significantly different from that of today, changing the content of the work, the working environment and the way we work. In this study the effects of these workplace changes are discussed, based on both literature and practical experiences, from an engineering point of view as an example of highly knowledge-intensive work, and further research needs are identified.
