Resisting new ways of working / stuck in old ways of working

Resisting new ways of working / stuck in old ways of working. It’s no secret the world of work keeps changing. As customers demand more, better, sooner, companies large and small need to respond and deliver. The best way for most businesses to respond to customer needs is to change the way they do their work.

Sure, keep shuffling the organisation chart around, restructuring, unsettling and disrupting people, but these are structural tweaks that don’t make much of a cultural or behavioral change.

You’ll need to do something else.

New ways of working are that.

← There were old, last century ways of working.

↓ There are new, this century ways of working.

→→→ And there are yet to be seen and experienced, future ways of working... up ahead.

New and future ways of working can mean different things to different people, teams and industries; it kind of depends where you're at now. If you resist or ignore newer ways of working now you'll only need to make a bigger shift to them later. It's easier to adapt now than play 'catch up' later.

More coming on new and future ways of working this week.

Q: What's a way of working that you use/do now ... that you didn't do just a few years ago?
