What Diagnosing Rare Diseases Can Tell Us About The Future Of Work | Georgia Hay | TEDxUWA

Georgia takes a different approach to the future of work conversation by talking about how managers, leaders, and policymakers can proactively design teams and organisations so that people work can effectively alongside technology. As an example, she tells the story of Lily, the first patient in the Western Australian Undiagnosed Diseases Program. Georgia aspires to transform organisations across the globe by conducting and translating research in organisational psychology. Currently, she is investigating work design as a PhD candidate in the Centre for Transformative Work Design at the University of Western Australia Business School. Her current projects include: improving the design of operating theatre teams in a cutting-edge public hospital; building a sustainable teamwork model for clinicians diagnosing patients with chronically undiagnosed rare genetic diseases; and investigating the re-design of work in the university context. In her spare time, Georgia leads the support team for the young entrepreneurs at Bloom, teaches Psychological First Aid to Australian Red Cross volunteers, and is a 2017 Resilience Ambassador for the Australian Institute of Disaster Resilience This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
