The rise of A.I. and automation
software means humans are moving away from repetitive tasks and are
increasingly focused on tasks only humans can do: think creatively and interact
with other humans. For workspaces, this means people spend less time sitting at
their desks and more time in a diversity of settings. Uber and Spotify have revolutionized access
to music and mobility, by giving everyone a private driver or a personalized
playlist for a specific occasion.
There’s
a specific area for the copier machine and another for the coffee maker, with
the boss’ office located in an area where he or she has a full view of the
whole floor. This is still what you’ll frequently see in both small and big
companies, however, there’s now this growing popularity of working in a
flexible workspace. It’s a common sight to see desks or cubicles positioned
strategically across the room to maximize space.
The most innovative companies are no
longer thinking about workspace as a single location, but rather a network of
spaces that employees can access based on what they are trying to
achieve--brainstorm a new product, train a new sales team, impress a client, or
work quietly on their own. Employees will increasingly expect the same level of
choice and diversity from their workspace.
