Our offices have seen the arrival of waves of technology in recent years, including IT, video conferencing, AI and mobility. Work is no longer a place we go, but rather a thing we do in different places. That means it’s time to ask some tough questions about the function our  workplaces  really fulfil. In other words: Today’s workplace: is it really an office — or is it a meeting venue instead? Let’s just take a moment to think about that. You definitely go there to do a particular thing You visit the place to meet people It has the equipment you need to achieve your targets It’s fun being there (or should be) Well, that certainly sounds like a venue. But there’s one other element that makes the office like a venue: You book a place before you arrive. After all, you would never just turn up at a gig hoping you could get in. Wandering around looking for somewhere to sit? That’s not very rock ‘n roll. It doesn’t rock the new workplace, either. In recen...

Everybody wants a perfect meeting . In fact, it’s crucial if you want your business to prosper. But if your recipe is “just use Outlook”, you could be in for trouble. Why? Does this sound familiar? You find that you are struggling to juggle all the booking elements when you try to use Outlook on its own. This is how it goes: You can book rooms, but you can’t book the AV you need. So you manage to put AV in the notes, but then you find out that a couple of your guests have specific meal requirements. Then the worst happens. The team members and your client are on the notice for the meeting, but the date changes by two days. Oh dear. It’s an admin nightmare to remember all the fields, files, sticky notes and emails you need to change for everything not included in the Outlook meeting. Many modern organisations are digitising and streamlining their business processes, and find many booking situations are disjointed when using Outlook. For complex organisations, Outlook ...

Twenty years ago no-one could have predicted that Amazon, from its humble beginnings as an online bookstore, would explode in quite the way it has – now accounting for  5% of all US retail spend . After several years of not making a profit, CEO Jeff Bezos is now worth $150 billion. With a 49% share of all US online commerce it’s only a matter of time before they are making more money than all their online competitors combined. As a corollary, traditional stores such as Toys R Us didn’t adapt to Amazon and have withered away completely. The growth of Uberization Of course, Amazon largely makes its money in the provision of tangible goods. What is striking about many other well-known online brands is that they don’t hold or ship any inventory at all. “Uber, the world’s largest taxi company owns no vehicles, Facebook the world’s most popular media owner creates no content, Alibaba, the most valuable retailer has no inventory and Airbnb the world’s largest accommodation ...

Open plan offices have been around for over a century, and on the face of it you would think that they foster communication. Far from it. A recent Harvard study found that face-to-face interaction actually decreased when the walls came down, while the number of emails and text messages increased sharply. In other words, people stop talking when they work open plan . That’s not great for collaboration.  The open plan office first came to prominence as a working style in 1906 when the architect Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Larkin Administration Building in New York. Open plan has always had its critics. As Alexi Marmot, professor of facility and environment management at The Bartlett School of Graduate Studies at University College London says: “The known [downsides] of open plan – noise, alienation, inability to adjust light and temperature, feeling like a small cog in a large machine – need to be overcome. “This can be achieved through attention to design, who...

“The reimagined modern workplace is here,” Microsoft senior director Ryan Asdourian declared confidently this year. “Gone are the days of rigid schedules where workers are fixed to computer terminals between the hours of 9 and 5… with technology on our side, the opportunities are endless .” Ryan conjures up a brave new world where remote, technology-enabled workers drop in and out of flexible, friendly spaces to get their jobs done in the most efficient and enjoyable manner. His views are well-supported. A workplace experiment in New Zealand made headlines recently when staff at a company specialising in trusts and wills were allowed to work for four days a week, while getting paid for five. Academics found their job and life satisfaction rocketed in all areas, and the company benefited too – employees worked better and enjoyed their jobs more. Working 9 to 5? What a way to make a living …looks like Dolly Parton was ahead of the times when she sang the theme song for th...

Are our UK venues missing a trick when it comes to digital transformation? A new survey of UK venues has proved surprisingly revealing. The survey – by London launch and sponsored by NFS and revealed this week – was aimed at discovering how venues are currently using technology. It gives software experts like ourselves a deeper insight into what the industry really needs, because many venues say their current system and tools for venue management are just not fulfilling their needs. In today’s challenging trading climate, this is a concern. This is a booming and profitable industry – but to stay that way, it needs and deserves more flexible and responsive technology. British consumers are becoming increasingly digital-savvy, and expect to access every area of their lives via their mobile. Hotels cottoned onto this some time ago, and online booking is now the norm, offering potential customers 24/7 convenience. Hotels often use a single property management system to c...

Is your working life being controlled by a robot? Or are the bots simply making your job a lot less tedious? It’s becoming the big question of today’s workplace – and a topic that’s going to continue to get hotter as Artificial Intelligence (AI) works its machine fingers further and further into every nook and cranny of our lives. Sometimes, the results of AI in the workplace can verge on disturbing. Some pickers at Amazon’s giant warehouses complain that that monitoring technology forces them to work at a relentless pace – and that the machines also provide the ticking-off if they don’t keep up. But elsewhere, human beings are finding that robot functions are taking the strain of mundane and repetitive tasks away from them, allowing them to spend their valuable time on more rewarding work. We can’t even begin to say how far AI and automation will change our working lives. Forecasts say that some jobs will be completely replaced –  bookkeeping and telemarketing ...
