flying cars and cool uniforms - how will the future be for information workers?
DESCRIPTION
Information is a weapon that can be used to change reality, improve positioning, and reduce costs and risks. Knowledge is power, which means increased focus on the information worker in an electronic world. Web 2.0 has already started to influence how employees are connected to each other, and solutions like iPhone, Facebook and Twitter change our enterprise requirements for functionality and usability. Information workers want solutions like in Star Trek, and over the next few years we will see new worker models for business information and users.TRANSCRIPT

The Future Workplace?
Microsoft Surface
The Office Information Worker Board of the Future
Simpler Work Index1. Competing on Clarity: My manager organizes and shares
information in ways that help me work smarter and faster
2. Navigation: In my workplace, it is easy for me to find whomever or whatever I need to work smart enough, fast enough
3. Fulfillment of Basics: In my workplace, it is easy to get what I need to get my work done—right information, right way, in the right amount
4. Usability: In my workplace, corporate‐built stuff (like IT, training, and support) is easy to use
5. Speed: In my workplace, that same corporate‐built stuff gets me what I need, as fast as I need it
6. Time: My company is respectful of my time and attention, and is focused on using it wisely and effectively

Conclusions?
Four Principles for the Future
• Embrace the Asset Revolution– The knowledge workers now own the means of production
• Build My Work My Way– Employees know they own the means of production– They do not want to waste time in a complex ever‐flowing world – They like try to lead a balanced life, ‐ which they will define
• Deliver Peer‐to‐Peer Value– They like collaborating, and they do not want artificial barriers to
collaboration to stop them from adding value
• Develop Extreme Leaders– Leaders must be accountable, willing to listen, and to be
challenged regarding the way work gets done
