A new book titled “Futures of Work: A Framework to Understand the Directions of Change” has been published within the T-winning Spaces 2035 project, authored by Sirkka Heinonen and Veli Virmajoki. The publication represents a major collaborative effort within the project and explores the futures of work as a conceptual and analytical space for understanding ongoing transformations in worklife.
The book introduces a framework consisting of 14 dimensions, each describing three alternative models of development, designed to help navigate and make sense of the increasingly complex and turbulent field of tomorrow’s work. The authors propose this “Dimensions and Models Framework for the Futures of Work,” with a particular focus on hybrid work, as both a pragmatic vision and an analytical tool for unpacking possible future trajectories.
A key conceptual provocation in the book is the idea that “Futures is a Space, not a Cone,” challenging traditional linear models of foresight and emphasizing the multi-dimensional nature of future possibilities.
The T-winning Spaces 2035 project, “Winning spatial solutions for future work, enabling the double twin transition of digital/green and virtual/physical transforming our societies by 2035,” is a three-year initiative within which the work was developed. The Millennium Project served as a collaborating network and supporting partner in the project.
The announcement highlights the book as part of ongoing efforts to deepen understanding of futures of work and hybrid work transformations through structured foresight and conceptual innovation.
