Career ecosystem theory is a comprehensive, multi-level complex, and overarching theory. Building on ecosystem theories – from bio-science and ecology to management – it offers an integration of existing career theories and concepts as perceived and managed by individuals, organisations and nations. Real life examples will be presented to indicate the usefulness and relevance of the theory to the management of people at work. Special attention will be devoted to the role of AI as a new ‘career actor’ and its disruptive impact on careers and labour markets.
