Be smart

Peter du ToitI'm the founder of FutureWork IQ where I spend my time assisting businesses to design digital workplaces or “offices in the cloud.” These environments enable companies to allow flexible and remote working for their teams. I also teach the digital literacy, fluency, communication and collaboration skills needed to work in these modern technology-rich workplaces.

The pandemic has given almost all businesses an opportunity to reimagine and reinvent their workplaces. Smart leadership teams are exploiting this opportunity to its maximum.

They are going from:

Location dependent > Location independent
In-office teams > distributed teams
Daily commutes > no commutes
In-office working > anywhere working
local hiring > global hiring

Etc.

Those that put in the work to make this happen (eg making sure their digital workplaces have a rock solid foundation) will win BIG this decade.
