Have you ever thought of the word office as a verb? It changes everything, shining a light on the work we do rather than the place we do it. This is just one of many great ideas presented by futurist Bob Johansen in his new book, Office Shock. In this conversation, Bob shares his views on the future of work, the impact of AI on careers, the way we handle change, and much more, all through the lens of his special brand of future-back thinking.
Bob’s book, Office Shock, Creating Better Futures for Living and Working, co-authored with Joseph Press and Christine Bullen, and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers is available here. You can get a 30% discount off the purchase price by entering the code “OFFSHOCK” after adding the book to your cart. More information about The Institute for the Future can be found here.
