I saw the following diagram spread in social media several times in the past weeks. \"\"Although the changes go slow, organisation moves in this direction. One element I believe needs to be added to the picture is from ‘office’ to ‘anyplace’. This has a very big impact on the way work is organised. In the 20th century work was where you went. Now work is what you do. Work moves to the people instead of the other way around.<\/p>\n

Technology has only recently started to facilitate this change (although the Internet is several decades old, only the past 15-20 years did it start enabling people to work remotely). Many tools are developed to support remote work. We move from rigid ERP\/SAP environments to specific cloud based tools that support work. We move from server-based Microsoft solutions to Google Docs and Hangouts. When I started my business 9 years ago, I had to build my own project management tool to facilitate distributed software development. Today, if you google ‘project management tool’, you’ll get bombarded with solutions.<\/p>\n

Offices were invented in the industrial era. People moved to the office to do the work together, because there was no other way. Before that, life revolved around the house. I believe life will move ‘home’ again in the decades to come. Office is where you go to meet your colleagues once in a while, to feel the human connection (because sitting alone at home 5 days a week will make you numb).<\/p>\n

And it will matter less and less where you’re doing your work. People can live where they want. Teams will become completely cross-cultural and cross-country.<\/p>\n

Ik zag de volgende diagram gespreid in de social media terug komen voor de laatste paar weken.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hoewel de veranderingen langzaam gaan, bewegen organisaties zich wel die kant op. E\u00e9n element waar ik van geloof dat toegevoegd moet worden aan de diagram is van \u2018office\u2019 naar \u2018anyplace\u2019. Dit heeft een hele grote impact over de manier waarop werken is georganiseerd. In de 20e<\/sup> eeuw was werk waar u naar toe ging. Nu is werk wat u doet. Werk komt naar de mensen toe in plaats van andersom.<\/p>\n

Technologie is net begonnen om deze verandering te faciliteren (hoewel het Internet al tientallen jaren oud is, in de afgelopen 15-20 jaar konden mensen hierdoor ook werken op afstand). Veel tools zijn ontwikkeld om remote werk te ondersteunen. We gaan van rigide ERP\/SAP omgevingen naar specifiek cloud gebaseerde tools die werk ondersteunen. We gaan van server gebaseerde Microsoft oplossingen naar Google Docs en Hangouts. Toen ik mijn bedrijf begon 9 jaar geleden, moest ik mijn eigen project management tool maken om gedistribueerde software ontwikkeling te faciliteren. Vandaag de dag, als je googled op \u2018project management tool\u2019, wordt u gebombardeerd met oplossingen.<\/p>\n

Kantoren zijn bedacht in de industri\u00eble tijdperk. Mensen gingen naar kantoor om het werk samen te doen, omdat er geen andere manier was. Daarvoor, draaide het leven rond het huis. Ik geloof dat het leven weer terugkeer naar \u2018huis\u2019 in de komende decennia. Kantoren zijn waar mensen heen gaan om collega\u2019s zo af en toe te ontmoeten om de menselijk verbinding te voelen (omdat alleen thuis zitten voor 5 dagen in de week niemand goed doet).<\/p>\n

En het gaat steeds minder uitmaken waar u uw werk doet. Mensen kunnen leven waar ze willen. Teams worden compleet cross-cultureel en crosscountry.<\/p>\n
