How are organizations embracing collaborative technologies? How will the nature of work change between now and 2020? What are the measures that we should be watching? Will changes in the nature of work fundamentally impact the competitive outcomes of organizations, or will we look back on this period of experimentation as a fad that will pass?
Let’s think about four key coming changes in the workplace and in how work is done.
- The office itself is changing, but it’s not dead.
- The gap between the C-Suite’s need to control and the need of knowledge workers to get work done is widening.
- The impact of analytics will be felt everywhere and will increasingly define how, where, when and with whom collaboration occurs.
- Traditional hierarchies are being redefined in response to both technology change and generational transition.
