Seminar“I can work anywhere, it’s the business that struggles”

People used to go to work, now work goes to people—what ever work needs to be accomplished, anytime it needs to get done, on a multitude of devicesIBM The new workplace: are you ready? White Paper 2011

There are more mobile connected devices than people in the world.We are all connected ….. but are we communicating and collaborating?

These devices enable us to work anywhere, but do we really want to? Is this the best outcome for the organisations we work for and for us?

26% of the total global workforce work away from the office at least 2 days a week and if it grows by 40-50% over the next 5 years as suggested……Where are we all going to work?

Is today’s workplace a virtual and/or physical environment, which enables us to perform activities anywhere, anytime…..Or is it chaos, is enough getting done? How do we know?

Is your workplace becoming a crowded train……. or is it a ghost train?Do you know where you are on that journey, and what impact its having on your people and the organisation?

Adam Neumann, Wework’s CEO likens the firm to a smartphone’s operating system. It brings buildings to life in the same way that Android or iOS makes a smart phone much more than the sum of its parts….Is this the future of work and living?
