Episode notes

The tech and the software is not there yet. The tipping point hasn't happened yet. They've got to have a like the iPhone for smartphones where it started off subsidized and then became payment plan oriented, et cetera. I'm old enough to remember days in which you didn't have your laptop. You went into an office and you used the company computer and you walked out without it. But do you remember that Stephen King book, The Lone More Man that they turned into a mid 90s movie with Jeff Starfleet? There's a quote from Keith Oberman about soccer in the United States. It's the sport of the future and always will be.

This week I was excited to welcome Phil Simon back to the show to discuss his new book, The Nine: The Tectonic Forces Reshaping the Workplace. Phil is the world's leading independent expert on workplace collaboration and technology. He is the award-winning author of 14 books, and helps organizations communicate, collaborate, and use technology better. Harvard Business Review, the MIT Sloan Management Review, Wired, NBC, CNBC, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, and The New York Times have featured his contributions. He also hosts the podcast Conversations About Collaboration.

In our chat Phil and I discuss the 9 forces that are redefining the workplace. These forces include generative AI, automation, dispersed workforces, blockchain, immersive technologies, employee empowerment, and the return of systemic inflation. The workplace is undergoing a massive, irrevocable shift. The only question for business leaders is, What should you do about it? Phil and I begin to unpack some of the first steps that he has been observing within corporations and workplaces. In addition, Phil also helps listeners understand how we can strive to keep our humanity, creativity, and ethical constraints while harnessing the power and time-saving productivity of various tools and trends that are evolving at an exponential rate.
