-
- Management
Welcome to the latest episode of the Informing Choices
Mini-Pod, and another in our series exploring ten meta-trends impacting the future of work, in partnership with Working the Future [https://www.workingthefuture.com] to explore 10 meta-trends identified in their “Foresight Focus 2024” report [https://workingthefuture.com/foresight-focus-report].
In this episode, we will explore the current state of our
fragmented attention spans and consider how these challenges might evolve. What new distractions could emerge, and how will they continue to shape our workdays? We will then explore three major drivers behind this trend, then look forward into the future to consider the optimistic and pessimistic potential scenarios in 2030. And finally, we will discuss actionable steps that
organizations can take now that will inform the design of work environments and cultures that help employees maintain concentration and stay effective.
