the workplace of the future
DESCRIPTION
The workplace can be anywhere and anyone can be a collaborator in a virtually-linked world. The workplace of the future is the flexible ecosystem that enables productivity and efficiency in work-flow while adapting to ever-changing needs of individual users and our environment.Reshaping the workplace is the single greatest opportunity for organizations to attract and employ the productive capability of tomorrow’s workforce. What was once keyboard data entry is likely soon a neural link and email gives way to virtual presence and real-time group processing. Where output was once a document, it becomes orchestrated actions directly on the factory production line, in consumer’s home or in hospital operating theater. Michael Ricks, Technology & Business Futurist discusses how the workplace of the future seamlessly combines technology, services and connectivity, and how the workplace becomes increasingly important as it grows from a collection of tools to a holistic enabler and the closest link between us and our world.TRANSCRIPT
