The Tandem platform works. It neatly fills the space of great uncertainty between working with our client to set a future direction and later organisational design and capability development priorities. It allows us to drive an HR cycle and set
a workforce plan that is based on the scientific assessment of the impact specific technologies will have on occupations, job roles and skills. This allows us to plan our response for an individual and for related job roles (what we call job clusters
of the future and Tandem’s identifies as a Job Neighbourhood) in both horizontal and vertical pathways.
More importantly, it fits our need for a pro-active, evidence-based response to the future. Tandem extends upon globally-recognised work by leaders like Oxford University and the Future of Humanity Institute, to add sophisticated proprietary analytical
models to deliver a product, not a report, for individual companies, regions, industries and governments.
It is a winning solution allowing us to help our clients plan with a higher level of precision and measure progress against reliable data points.

Tandem offers a way of tangibly estimating the impact of technology on our specific business. The fact that we can actually put a financial stake in the ground on the magnitude of change that is possible using our real information makes it compelling.
Tandem’s outputs allow us to better inform our strategic direction with respect to technology and is one of the tools to use to identify where in our organisation to focus and what to prioritise.
There is no doubt the nature of work is going to change (just as it has historically) but at an accelerated rate. Tandem is one of the data sources we are using to help us think about how, where and when it is likely to impact our business on a
number of levels – our company, our industry and the broader Australian market.

I work with the Tandem team to help pre-digital organisations transform their strategy, products, processes and workforces and to become global players in the new, hyper-competitive digital economy that is rapidly subsuming all the existing markets.
We use the platform to help identify what parts of the business can be automated and in what time frame, and what that opens up in terms of new products, markets and processes. We also use Tandem to help us with workforce planning and retraining,
something that too many companies have not yet got a good handle on.

While there have been an ample number of reports telling us that automation looms large and that it will massively impact on job markets, we've had little by way of concrete, tailored data to talk about what it might do in the Australian context.
If industry and government are to shape up an effective response to this issue, then it will need quality insights to help guide the development of such a response. Any work to help realise this should be encouraged.
