Thank you for sharing, Jack. I hope we expand the conversation to 1) recognize that rapidly advancing connective and immersive technologies coupled with innovative architectural design will change the physicality of the built environment and offices from one to a tightly integrated network of advanced hubs and 2) The network is a force multiplier particularly for knowledge work, education and a wide range of remote health care diagnostics and services if otimally designed to localize access. We look at the future through past experiences and rarely reflect that our current built environment was assembled using the powerful technologies of the late nineteenth and early 20th century. The last 50 years of technological progress provide a different toolbox with other capabilities. I propose building a workplace model that is more appropriate for today's distributed workforce and the companies that employ them.

Excellent points, Michael. It's about time we start anticipating and preparing for the future instead of being shocked into inaction, or reverting to a distant past by it.

Good article Jack. I have long contended that much of the primary resistance to teleworking is because it requires a shift in management skills from managing activity to managing results.
