Some say the future is already here, that it is the reality we are currently living. The way of working, of creating value for our organisations and our clients has certainly changed dramatically in the last 20 years. Initially, digital innovations made it possible for workers to be available and constantly connected, but eventually it obligated them to work remotely and separate from their colleagues while still requiring them to deliver the same results as before. 2020 has seen an enormous number of people adopting a different modus operandi not because they wanted to, but because they had to. This obligation helped many people discover new working dimensions and, in many ways, improve their performance, rather than their work-life balance. Would they have been able to do it without external pressure? Yes, if they had the right mindset to innovate, cultivate curiosity, creativity and the courage to try new things.
