Long-term work from anywhere is dependent on this

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.

A digital workplace or “office in the cloud” that rests on a solid foundation of work-from-anywhere best practices.

Some of these are:

• A leadership team 100% in support of the concept
• A team with high levels of digital literacy and fluency
• A strong outcome-based culture
• Having a document-first culture
• Having an async-first approach to work and meetings

There are more of course. But the point is a uccessful work-from-anywhere workplace is firmly rooted in these best practices.

A big shoutout to those companies who have pioneered this way of working decades prior to the pandemic and who have generously shared their expertise to help others now embarking on the same path.

We have the technology and we have the know-how for many previously location restricted businesses to achieve physical office escape velocity and location independence.

A brand new world awaits!
