Knowing what drives employees to leave has obvious benefits for employers—in reduced turnover costs, higher performance, recruiting advantages, etc. But what does it do for workers looking for a better fit or new opportunities? Listen to the latest episode of the #ManagingTheFutureOfWork podcast for my conversation with my HBS faculty colleague Ethan Bernstein and cofounder of the Clayton Christensen Institute, Michael Horn. We consider the role of HR, mentors, and the implications for skills training and education. Ethan and Michael, along with co-author Bob Moesta, detail how a jobs-to-be-done analysis can improve job matching and increase engagement, in their book Job Moves: 9 Steps for Making Progress in Your Career [https://lnkd.in/eixsj5fu]. ?

Theory is a powerful predictor of the future. Last week, Forward announced its closure, effective immediately. Last December, after their Series E round, I wrote a piece (linked below) evaluating the launch of their "Carepods," which Forward claimed would be the world's first AI doctor's office. In brief, I assessed that Forward's plans for the future seemed grounded only in leaders' vision for the ideal world, and not in consumers' desires for progress, a.k.a. their #JobstoBeDone (JTBD). Therefore, theory would predict Forward was competing against luck and unlikely to succeed in the way they envisioned. Theory was right. How can you leverage it? Even if you aren't a #healthcare #entrepreneur, the theory of #JTBD can help you achieve success in your business, and it can also help you avoid fates similar to Forward's.

In higher education, the debate over the 2011 Dear Colleague Letter has raised questions about the stability of revenue-sharing agreements between universities and OPMs. Michael Horn takes a closer look to reveal a strong and consistent foundation: - Regulatory interpretations date back to the 1990s. - Legislative history underscores Congressional intent to permit bundled services exceptions. - Courts uphold agency interpretations through Skidmore deference. This continuity supports innovation and partnerships that help universities thrive—a good thing, Horn argues, as the Department of Education should focus on ensuring positive student outcomes rather than dictating operational models. https://lnkd.in/g-DHk2QH #InnovationInEducation #HigherEdPolicy #StudentOutcomes

We talk about AI. We talk about the loneliness epidemic. But taken together, they're creating a classic example of disruption...not of any one business or industry, but of human connection as we know it. Julia Freeland Fisher reveals why there's a market opening AI companions are rapidly exploiting, why the critical question of "Is AI curing loneliness while scaling isolation?" must be better understood, and what actionable steps are needed. #LonlinessEpidemic #HumanConnection #AI #AICompanions #AIBots #DisruptiveInnovation

In her latest #healthcare blog, Ann-Somers Hogg looks at astronomical health care costs, which continue to rise. Everyone has a different theory as to why this is the case. So what's the real reason? Her analysis reveals the root cause of health care cost inflation, provides a new lens to address the problem, and looks at how we might reduce costs sustainably.
