My top 10 Digital Workplace “Mantras”

Just been tweaking my top ten “mantras” of the Digital Workplace……ahead of a working session for the major organizations now part of our Digital Workplace Forum – happening at a funky space run by entrepreur Renata Wallace in London’s Covent Garden: 

1.      The Digital Workplace enables people to have degrees of power and influence over how, where and when they work for the first time. 

2.      Work is shifting rapidly from the physical to the digital – and the progress is steady, fast and relentless.

3.      The office as we know is in terminal decline – but what is coming in its place? As yet unclear.

4.      The Digital Workplace has the ability to transform positively the nature, design and experience of work for most people in most organizations.

5.      My own organization/work experience contains great lessons for large enterprises embarking on moving deeper into the Digital Workplace.

6.      You do not need to meet physically to build trust; while it can help it is not essential.

7.      If you don’t design your “work future” in this area, it will design you.

8.      The Digital Workplace produces less ‘politics’ and distractions than being in an office all day, every day.

9.      Work itself is not getting easier or less demanding – it’s just that its ‘shape’ and location are changing.

10.  It is impossible to implement a successful Digital Workplace without high degrees of trust and autonomy.
