What is digital disruption?Digital disruption is the change that occurs when new digital technologies and business models affect the value proposition of existing goods and services.
What is digital dexterity?At the heart of the digital workplace is digital dexterity, which is a core employee cognitive ability and social practice to drive digital business success.
How employees use technology outside of work says a lot about the possibilities to bring smart tools inside the organization. The IT organization has an opportunity to lead the enterprise in boosting employee agility and engagement by drawing on what employees use in their personal lives.
Analytics
Using sensors and software to analyse
workplace efficiency, meeting room occupancy, hot desk usage.
Production studio
Why is PowerPoint still the dominate method for making presentations in the enterprise when consumers often create videos, graphics, podcasts, and other types of media in their personal lives? Organizations can seize the opportunity to create multimedia tools and production hubs for employees to bring these rich media types to their work environments
Immersive TechOrganisations can harness tech that blurs the line between the physical world and the simulated to create a sense of immersion, such as video conference, gesture control or the use of virtual reality in design and for training.
Bürolandschaft
This German term refers to office landscape. As more
employees work remotely, organizations can develop
complex scheduling software to manage office hoteling
and develop a physical environment that is optimized for
employee engagement, such as serendipitous
collaboration spaces.
Personal Internet of things...
Workplaces can take advantage of their employees’ personal networks of beacons and sensors for scenarios such as smart badges, that show contextual digital signs; or the ability to identify people when they approach a building to schedule meeting rooms, assign desks, and order meals.
Your personal assistant
Virtual personal assistants (VPA) will perform a variety of
personal tasks, eventually learning from individuals to act
on their behalf. For example, a sales associate could use
her VPA to scour LinkedIn for leads, assemble sales
materials, and conduct initial outreach before the
associate meets with prospects in person.
My personal cloud
Just as chefs bring their personal set of knives to each restaurant they work in, employees in the future may bring their own personal collection of apps and software for both professional and personal needs.
Is it all positive?
