IMAGINING WORKPLACES OF THE FUTURE: Indesign live interviews Neill Johanson
Our principal Neill Johanson was recently interviewed for Indesign Live on the future of workplaces in an ever evolving technological environment.
The workplace has evolved beyond the imagination. What was once a purely functional space has today transformed to focus on the latest in technology, collaboration and community. From cubicles that were initially the norm, people have moved on to workspaces where they can choose the most conducive settings depending on the task at hand. Today’s hybrid designs feature fluid breakout areas, huddle rooms, study nooks and conference spaces where comfort, ambience and ergonomics are a priority.
In terms of the future, Neill feels that: “The workplace of the future will support much higher levels of automation and artificial intelligence and will therefore present new opportunities for organisations to embrace change and support a creative-based economy.”
