Synopsis
'A timely new book about how to reinvent the office [by] veteran observers of the future of work.' - Andrew Hill, Financial Times
'Brimming with ideas, insights, examples and wisdom, this is the go-to book for everyone interested in the future of the office.' - Lynda Gratton, Professor of Management Practice, London Business School, and author of Redesigning Work
'Myerson and Ross expertly examine the facets reshaping the office landscape with a view into "What’s Next".' - Harald Becker, Director of Customer Engagements and Insights, Microsoft
Over the past hundred years, the office has been integral to the development of modern society. It has shaped the architecture of our cities, the behaviour of our organizations and the everyday movements of millions of people. In 2020, however, the global pandemic brought our attendance in the office to an abrupt halt and triggered a complete re-evaluation of the purpose of the workplace. This book offers a panoramic view of the office and explores what happens next. The authors advance a manifesto for 'unworking' - unlearning old habits and rituals established for an outdated office and creating new ones fit for an age of digital technology, design innovation and diverse workforces.
