From one of the foremost thinkers in business and organization, a deeply researched examination on the true future of work.

The world of work is shifting to become a "Nowhere Office" faster than anyone could imagine. The pandemic has accelerated shifts caused by increased automation and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and perhaps as much as one-third of the world's permanent workforce will become remote-based; where offices as we know it will need to be repurposed for less and different kinds of occupancy; where the challenges of managing "WFH" teams multiply, and where the idea of "Purpose" itself - of meaningful work - begins to take center stage. This book takes the view that these changes are irreversible to some degree and yet should be broadly welcomed as a moment to improve on the failures of the workplace.
