How do you know you have a well designed digital workplace

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.

How do you know you have a well designed digital workplace?

If your office suffered the fate this pictured office did, and burnt down to the ground overnight, could you be fully operational the next day without skipping a heartbeat?

If your company could still be reached telephonically, if you didn’t lose any documents, if your team can continue fulfilling their tasks from home or from a local coffee shop from any device, if you could have all your meetings without having to leave home, if the office was a luxury not a necessity then you would have a well designed digital workplace!
