Basex Strategic Thinkers Conference: The New Workplace
According to Jonathan Spira, CEO and chief analyst at Basex, it
seems that the future of the new workplace is cloudy. Some of the questions that
were discussed in the proceedings included: What will be the "right" tools for
the workplace? Does that include e-mail? How will the trend towards virtual
meeting spaces impact the quality of work, not to mention the delicate work/life
balance? How will CIOs control technology sprawl-waking up one day and finding
nine document management systems, five portal environments, four content
management systems, and users, who have simply given up?
Key insights from the conference include:
"On demand" is not the same as "on call." Just because one can work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, doesn't mean that one should or even that the availability is beneficial.
Where work is done is less important than having the best people on the team. The "death of distance" means that colleagues can collaborate from far off regions; electronic proximity can replace face-to-face meeting time—especially if it benefits the team.
Time zone differences, once thought to be a disadvantage due to an inability to bring people together at the same time, can also be used to a company's benefit as one group picks up where the other leaves off.
In the brave new virtual workplace, it is a business imperative to network internally. Consider using PR-like techniques to create a brand of "me" while applying sales techniques to selling ideas and projects.
The New Workplace needs to place people and the work at hand ahead of technologies. Don't let work or technology get in the way of doing one's job.
