In this episode of The Nowhere Office, we bring together three experts with very different perspectives on work to explore how we measure it, how we experience it, and how workplaces are changing.
What is productivity, and why does it matter?
Professor Dame Diane Coyle, economist and Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge, joins Stefan to discuss why productivity is such a tricky thing to measure what GDP can and can’t tell us. These ideas will be explored more in Diane's forthcoming book, The Measure of Progress. (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Measure-Progress-Counting-Really-Matters/dp/0691179026).
There is also a cameo from Sophie from Romania, of internet fame.
Dr. Melissa Fisher is a cultural anthropologist at NYU and Parsons, who has studied Wall Street’s culture and is now looking at the future of work. She shares insights into how work is shaped not just by numbers but by history, habits, and human behaviour.
Phil Kirschner, workplace consultant and strategist, helps companies rethink their workplaces and manage the huge wave of change.
The Nowhere Office is a Fully Connected Production in association with Sandstone Global Productions. Music by Julian Brezon.
