Good info and dialog. there was a reference to an article on the value proposition of the distributed workforce and people working at home. (referenced early; people more motivated more productive, more loyal) Can you share the specifics of where this is published and name?

I was one of the presenters/participants in the webinar. Thanks for your kind comments. I’m not sure if I was the one who mentioned the paper you are thinking of, but here’s a link to a downloadable white paper we prepared last fall.

It’s a discussion of why distributed work should be the next big thing, as well as why we think it still hasn’t taken off as we think it should. Hope you find it useful, and feel free to contact me directly if you have further questions.

Just wanted to thank you folks-there were many pearls here. In particular, I wanted to thank Jim for his insight on Change Management- I took it as a call to action to develop my personal Teachable Point of View on Change Leadership (I’ve footnoted Jim and the future of work in that document).

Webinar on the "Future of Work"

On February 8th, we convened several leading thinkers for an excellent roundtable-style public conference call on the "future of work". The discussion was moderated by Bill Lucchini and included Steve King, Research Fellow at the Institute for the Future, Jim Ware, co-founder of the Future of Work and a contributor to this blog, and Yankee Analyst Josh Holbrook. We've now made the recording available - visit this post to listen to it and feel free to follow up with commentary and questions.

The AppGap is a blog and resource on the future of work and how new tools are addressing age-old challenges of organization, collaboration, and innovation. But it is also an idea: that there remains a gap between the toolset that exists and what's needed... More about us.
