A new wave of computerization and
digitalization has revolutionized the
service sector, eliminating 47% of jobs
in the last two decades and changing
organizations from within. The core of
the organization 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.
