SUMMARY:SIM Work 4.0 SIG MISQE Special Issue on the Future of Work
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n \n\n \nAbout The Session: \n  \nThis webinar will feature the authors of several papers which have been published in the MISQE Special Issues on the Future of Work.  Fred Niederman\, Senior Editor\, will serve as the moderator of the panel.  Rosemary Francisco and Cassie Collier will talk about their papers and engage the group in a discussion.\n  \nA Metaverse-Based Proof of Concept for Innovation in Distributed Teams \nDistributed teams often struggle to recreate the creative energy of co-located innovation sessions.We describe a proof of concept that explored how a metaverse environment can support more dynamic distributed innovation. During a three-day immersive workshop\, avatar-based interaction\, informal movement and gamified facilitation enhanced engagement and ideation. Though the immersive environment enabled cross-location collaboration and unconventional idea sharing\, challenges included onboarding difficulties\, participant skepticism and platform limitations. The lessons learned give rise to recommendations for organizations considering immersive technologies to foster innovation across distributed teams. \nRosemary FranciscoUnisinos University (Brazil) \nSharon GeelingUniversity of Cape Town (South Africa) \nHow Data Analytics Professionals Can Prepare for AI-Led DisruptionAI’s proliferation in data analytics will fundamentally disrupt the role of the data analyst as we know it today. In this article\, we establish the current state of hiring and working in data analytics\, based on our survey of hiring managers. Then\, we speculate on anticipated changes to this current state as the world becomes increasingly AI-driven\, and we validate these speculations with semi-structured interviews of individuals in the data analytics field. Based on these speculations\, we provide recommendations for data analytics professionals to prepare for and thrive in an age of AI-led disruption.  \nCassandra A.
