A new specialist report into the future of work highlights how 8 principles of collaborative networking are helping us to change the way we work.
The report published by Unwired, predicts how patterns of work will change as a result of political, socioeconomic and technological trends.
For 120 years people have clustered together to work together in a building. But this approach is increasingly redundant. Most people no longer sit behind desks all day. In fact, research shows that the majority of desks, typically 55%+, in an average office are empty at any one point in time.
Commuting consumes an average of 80 minutes a day per person worldwide according to figures from the Universities of Sheffield and Michigan. This is no longer sustainable, desirable or necessary.
Instead, a different set of patterns for work have emerged enabled by mobile technology and new culture. Increasingly people work when and where they can be most effective, whether they are in the office, the home office or on the move. But effective collaboration is paramount, with technology allowing people up to work in this new way.
