The Future of Work in Engineering
The future of engineering work is under intense pressure as organizations face escalating challenges in sourcing, retaining, and aligning technology talent. Critical shortages in software, cloud, cybersecurity, machine learning, and AI engineering are stalling innovation, driving up costs, and exposing businesses to operational and regulatory risks. Traditional hiring models are no longer sufficient to keep pace with rapid technological change and increasing demands for agility and security. To stay competitive, leaders must embrace blended talent models that combine core internal teams with flexible external specialists, automation, AI-driven operations, and continuous reskilling. Each strategy carries inherent risks, ranging from governance complexity to vendor dependency, requiring thoughtful leadership alignment and proactive risk management. This presentation outlines key global trends, real-world case studies, and actionable mitigation strategies designed to help organizations build resilient, adaptive, and secure engineering capabilities that can thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
