comments:

International organisations and key partner countries, including EU Member States, are actively involved in global and G7/G20's efforts on the Future of Work; Governments, social partners, workers, businesses, and civil society organisations in the EU and selected target countries; Researchers and academics in the EU and selected target countries.

challenges:

One challenge was that Component 1 (Research) would be implemented for the first time by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) in close collaboration with the ILO.

success:

The project fit well and worked closely with other relevant ILO interventions at the global and country levels. This project – especially the methodology aspect – was an add-on project allowing ILO to do something additional and providing ILO with a different analysis tool.

context:

Lesson Learned: Enhancing Adaptability and Sustainability in Future of Work Initiatives The findings from the project's evaluation and insights from interviews with project staff and other stakeholders reveal valuable lessons that can significantly impact similar initiatives. On Strategic Partnerships and Methodology: The project's success lies in its innovative approach, especially in methodology development. This allowed the organisation to implement something additional and provided a different analysis tool. The lesson learned here is that incorporating add-on projects, such as the one in focus, enables organisations like ILO to strengthen existing partnerships, fostering adaptability and innovation. Future initiatives should consider incorporating add-on projects to enhance adaptability, innovation, and the development of new analysis tools. These lessons learned are essential considerations for future initiatives aiming to shape the future world of work effectively and sustainably.

description:

Add-on projects such as this one allowed ILO to build on its achievements, especially on the methodology aspect, leading to the development of a new analysis tool. The methodology applied throughout the project is to build new and strengthen existing partnerships through new and innovative research and the distribution of its findings through capacity building and dialogue. Partner countries would be able to make policy decisions on recent findings. The fact that the implementing partners are the European Commission’s JRC and the ILO contributed to this Lesson Learned. For a lesson learned to be applicable, a few main components and considerations are necessary: the first is adaptability and flexibility to apply the lesson learned in diverse contexts and to be adaptable to evolving trends in the future of work; the second is to involve and take into account the perspectives of a tripartite range of stakeholders. Inclusive engagement ensures that proposed solutions are comprehensive and address the needs of all stakeholders. Finally, organisations should use projects as learning experiences.
