    Learnings & insights from Purposeful Intent

    In this episode, we chat with Simon Davis— Founder and CEO of Purposeful Intent— about what the future of work will look like. Simon delves into the importance of considering the next generation when making workplace decisions, and challenging our traditional workplace norms in the face of what the data is truly telling us. He explains how remote work has revolutionized connection, rather than taken away from it, with people being able to host online events with thousands of participants— something that would be challenging to organize in the physical workplace. Simon expands on this dimension of inclusivity and sustainability that were previously impossible in the office, and provides tips on how to overcome the greatest obstacle to innovation— a lack of curiosity.
