The
hybrid
COVID-19 has turned where we work, how we work and how we add value on its head. With the next normal we are moving towards a hybrid workplace.
In that workplace, the key is to find a new balance between virtual and face-to-face collaboration. Productivity improved greatly for knowledge and office workers, which we would like to keep up. Meanwhile, real-live collaboration is something we miss.
We know that customer expectations have changed and will continue to evolve. Today’s best practice is tomorrow’s standard. Organizations therefore need to become digitally savvy. This is only possible if all employees – both knowledge workers and field employees – themselves become digitally savvy.
In the hybrid workplace, flexible work is supported by digital tools that continue to evolve. The ultimate goal? Employing business models that allow you to flexibly handle customer evolutions.
So? How digitally savvy is your organization?
