What challenges are brands facing in this space?
- Coordinating people and spaces in a hybrid world
- Attracting and retaining employees
- Optimizing your workspaces for hybrid work
What do you think the future holds in this space?
Hybrid working is here to stay. As vaccinations roll out and economies tentatively open up, organizations are working out what their new normal will look like.
The digital collaboration experience is here to stay. Digital is as real as real. It’s strong. It’s going to get a lot more innovative and immersive. And it’s starting to wrap itself around wellbeing, not just productivity.
There are many moments during the cycles of work – convergences in the joined up rhythms of getting stuff done – when we are so much better served by being physically together – creative moments, brainstorming, water-cooler moments.
What brands are leading the way in this space?
Okta, Slack, Microsoft, Twitter.
If a brand wanted to work with you, which activities would you be most interested in collaborating on?
I am interested in webinars, podcasts, speaking opportunities & video/written interviews.
