In the opening keynote of the second edition of the Cosmic Conference all about the Future of Teams Mark Mortensen Professor and Former Area Chair of Organizational Behavior at INSEAD unpacks the challenges of hybrid work anddiscusses what Mark has learned from studying remote and hybrid working models over the years
Five Key Takeaways:
- The future of work is somewhere between remote and in the office. It has to be hybrid.
- Three conversations must occur when transitioning into a remote/hybrid working model. They are about effectiveness, staffing and social fabric.
- We need to rethink job design and not who does what work.
- We need to break work down to the level of the task and think about what people are actually doing. Common sense should be the guide. “It's not the thing, it's the experience of the thing.”
- “The answers to the problems are in the history of our organizations.” It’s nothing that we have to invent.
