Companies will embrace remote work and go #DIGITALFIRST


Office space will be abandoned, some companies will never go back


Companies will then open their mind to hiring talent globally


Work will become more project oriented, less of an employee track


Workers will start realizing they can live anywhere, this time for real


Living in the countryside will become a possibility, great for people with young children


The vast majority of real work will be done remotely


Commuting and constant work travel will be a thing of the past


Wifi in private residences will upgrade massively to support a distributed workforce with constant video conferencing needs


10·
Zoom is here to stay (I´m buying the stock ZM!)


11· Massive booms in

A. Zoom Ecosystem: Applications to enhance the Zoom experience and productivity software as we all learn how to work digital first. Instagram style filters and elegant backdrops are urgent but just the start

B. Productivity software such as easy to use project management software, google drive/Dropbox integrated contract signing, quality video/audio recording sets that anyone can use, tiny mobile printers, audio blocking for quieter environments...

12· Increase in spending and attention on targeted waist up beautification such as blouses, hair & make-up, showier costume jewelery…



13· Quick evolution from Zoom into full on Zoom rooms to be able to move and interact more naturally in group settings for longer periods of time with better video, audio and some visual variation instead of just staring frontally in front of a computer screen. Zoom fatigue is real, we need more relaxed and natural experiences coming up.

14· Office space will come back redesigned as a social space for human bonding, hearty laughs, kick-offs, some client work, group motivation and celebrations

15· The educated workforce will flee big, expensive cities if they can work mainly remotely... likely choice will be wherever they are quarantining now and eventually lower tax states
