Today we have a fabulous duo of Future of Work experts with us, Albert Canigueral and Laetitia Vitaud. We chat about some of the key evolutions in this space, and how platforms contribute to crystalize trends in the continued unbundling of jobs.      Albert Canigueral is Ouishare Connector for Spain and Latin America. In 2011 he founded the blog Consumo Colaborativo, becoming a reference in the platform economy in the Spanish-speaking world. He recently published the book ‘El trabajo ya no es lo que era’ – ‘Work Is Not What It Used To Be’ – a book about the future of work and workers. In short, he works as an explorer, consultant and disseminator in the field of platform economics. He is currently mainly focused on the future of work, the impact of digital platforms in cities and regulatory innovations.   Laetitta Vitaud is a teacher-turned-entrepreneur and, like Albert, a key reference - both writer and speaker - about the future of work and consumption. She has her own newsletter about the future of work with a feminist perspective, Laetitia@work, is editor-in-chief of the HR media of Welcome to the Jungle and leads a media called Nouveau Départ with her partner and husband Nicolas Colin, who we previously had on the podcast. Laetitia is working with clients on how organizations, management, work space, and social protection are impacted by the unbundling of jobs and the empowerment of freelancers.    In our conversations, we cover a lot of ground, where we focus on the apparent “innovation dilemma” that results from the gap in how the concept of work is evolving and the systems in place to protect a new age of independent workers with fragmented “careers”.    We explore how worker tech and different scales of collective arrangements help platform workers gain agency and rebundle traditional worker benefits.    While governments often seem helplessly stuck in the old paradigm, digital transformation is leading to new modes of organising at scale that depart from the industrial efficiency-based model, with workers starting to take matters in their own hands to organise collectively.    Remember that you can find the show notes and transcripts from all our episodes on our Medium publication: https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast-S2E9-Vitaud-Cañigueral To find out more about their work: > Albert’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/AlbertCanig    > Laëtitia’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/Vitolae    > Albert’s Website: https://www.albertcanigueral.com/    > Laëtitia’s Website: https://laetitiavitaud.com/    > Laëtitia’s Newsletter: https://laetitiaatwork.substack.com/    > Albert Cañigueral, El trabajo ya no es lo que era: Nuevas formas de trabajar, otras maneras de vivir, 2020 https://www.amazon.co.uk/El-trabajo-que-era-trabajar-ebook/dp/B08DT67CG8/     Other references and mentions:   > Albert Cañigueral, The Digital Labour Market Under Debate, 2018: https://cotec.es/media/COTEC_PIA_Ouishare_WorkerTech_EN_ExecutiveSummary.pdf    > Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain: https://iwgb.org.uk/   > Mastercard’s Digital Payments & Labs, Mastercard Labs for Financial Inclusion, and White Paper Media Consulting, The Gig Economy in East Africa, 2020: https://newsroom.mastercard.com/mea/files/2020/09/The-Gig-Economy-in-East-Africa-White-Paper.pdf    > Happy Dev: https://happy-dev.fr/en/   > Cosme Collectif: https://collectif-cosme.com/projets/    > MyWay Spain: https://mywayspain.es/   > Hoxby: https://hoxby.com/   Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast    Thanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.
