Why you can’t straddle two operating systems

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.

Slowly but surely it is beginning to dawn on leadership teams that attempting to straddle two operating systems (ie in-person working AND remote working) is really hard as the two are not compatible at all.

This results in this scenario: The Worst of Both Worlds: Zooming From the Office

My suggestion remains. Do the work that is necessary to acquire the skills you need to achieve physical office escape velocity and true location independence – it will be WAY less painful.
