Before, Now, and Next: A quick look at our changing work world
After all the uncertainty in recent years, can we believe predictions about what will happen in the working world? There are no crystal balls, but informed projections about where technology is heading can give us some guidance. Look at this insightful infographic showing the progression of technology from the office to where people may work.
How has collaboration changed in the workplace?
In the past, collaboration primarily took place in the office. Now, it happens more ad-hoc and is supported by IT providing hardware and services that enable seamless collaboration for a distributed workforce. This shift acknowledges that employees can effectively perform their jobs from various locations.
What is the current approach to security?
Previously, the emphasis was on protecting office workers. Today, the focus has shifted to safeguarding endpoints everywhere, with a future emphasis on assets that come with built-in protection. This change reflects the need to address foreseeable security challenges in a more comprehensive manner.
How should businesses approach planning in uncertain times?
Businesses can no longer rely on predictable elements like sales volume or required skills. Instead, they should embrace flexible planning. A partner can assist in envisioning the future, and according to Forrester Research, 55% of IT leaders prioritize adopting predictive analytics to better assess device performance, health, and security.
