Reimagining the digital workplace: busting myths and confounding preconceptions

June 13, 2018 3:00 pm GMT

The enterprise workplace is undergoing profound transformation. 68% of large enterprises believe that by 2021, the majority of employees will be mobile and not bound by an office space. By 2025, more than 75% of the global workplace will comprise millennials, with many of them in influential decision-making roles. Traditional, hierarchical structures are giving way to models characterised by leaner, dynamic and distributed teams. And underpinning everything is the shift to digital tools and ways of working.

But change is often confusing. Myths and preconceptions abound. The digital workplace is not just about technology; it is a place where employees can easily collaborate and communicate, where processes enable them to be more effective, and where technology helps them innovate – often at scale. User experience and productivity are key goals. It’s a cultural shift.
