A new wave of computerisation and
digitalisation has revolutionised the
service sector, eliminating 47% of jobs
in the last two decades and changing
organisations from within. The core of
the organisation has shrunk as most
manpower requirements are outsourced.
In this new era, the focus will be on
human interaction and the need for
workers with high emotional intelligence.
Work will increasingly take place in the
third place; social surroundings with
community life, cafes, and co-working
spaces.
THE SCENE IN 2040
It is the year 2040. Age old mindsets
have been dismantled and the gig
economy is in full swing. Governments
have revamped regulations for
the digital economy. Enhanced
connectivity has made workers more
mobile and economies have become
more flexible and dynamic. More than
60% of the world’s population now live
in cities, crammed into less than 3% of
the world’s land area. The pressure on
resources will entail a new paradigm in
smart urban planning.
As such, things are changing quickly
for the typical workday, worknight, and
workhour. How will we want to work in
an era where we can be in the driver's
seat? How can we build workplaces
in perspective of the user in a world
where work, shop, and play is blurred?
How will we navigate the space daily
in future? And what does this mean
for Corporate Real Estate? To build a
better future, we must first imagine it.
