The new normal — no office

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.

Most startups going forward will be office-less. As a result they will be able to scale faster, have access to a global talent pool, be more agile and move faster than any physical office bound business.

“Being a fully-remote company allows us to do things other companies haven’t been able to do before.”

My billion-pound company has no office

For any incumbents to compete against these office-less companies they will HAVE TO evolve their workplaces or simply be left behind.

The truth is, the most successful companies of the future will be totally location independent.
