A roadmap to navigate the future of work

We’re on the cusp of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Converging industries and shortening product lifecycles are forcing companies to innovate and transform.

Driven by rapid technological innovations, our physical and digital worlds are merging. As a result, we’re witnessing seismic shifts in corporate real estate as the way we work is transforming.

In response to the rapidly changing workplace, we have recently unveiled the Future of Work, our fresh outlook on the changing world of work and its impact on the next generation of real estate. Our new model charts a five-dimensional path to a workplace ready for the future and provides the steps necessary for you and your teams to lead through formidable disruption and changes. Explore these five dimensions in the slideshow below to build both a vision and strategy that will help your organization achieve their ambitions.

“Organizations must examine how work and the workforce are evolving and embrace the change,” says John Forrest, Global and Americas CEO, Work Dynamics. “Today’s multigenerational workforce prefers alternative work styles and demands new work environments beyond the traditional ones.”  With the world of work changing quickly, organizations must take a visionary approach to compete and thrive.

Human experience, digital drive, continuous innovation, operational excellence and financial performance comprise the five interrelated dimensions in this model. How these dimensions are addressed—and which of these dimensions is given priority—will vary by organization and by industry. Regardless of priority and response, these dimensions are all vital to running a thriving organization.
