Remote Work and the Myth of the Open Office

The Big Themes:· It’s a great time to connect with your customers and employees. Try new ideas, try innovation, try creativity, and don’t waste these opportunities.· Jamming 300 people into the same footprint is a myth. There’s not a shred of evidence that the open office makes people more productive.· Bill McDermott, CEO of ServiceNow said there will be times some people choose to work remotely – with childcare, parents, etc. – and sometimes you need to use the office as a “productivity tool.”· Thomas.net is now in the fourth wave of a monthly survey, and a surprising number of manufacturers are reshoring back to North America.· This is going to reshape global manufacturing for decades to come – and not just the areas we think about.The Big Quote: “What we're seeing is more robust hiring than we would have anticipated. Close to 40% of the companies are actually hiring right now.”This episode is brought to you by BMC Software See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Visit Cloud Wars for more.
