Welcome to the world’s first work/life podstorm.Today, I discuss how the workplace has 'flipped'. As my podcast guest, Allison Baum Gates (General Partner of SemperVirens an early-stage VC fund focused on the future of work) put it, in the 'flipped workplace':"Productive individual work is done outside of the office, on your own time, in your own place, at your own pace. Consequently, the office transforms into a space purely dedicated to meeting people, asking questions, brainstorming, and making unexpected connections."LINKS:Future Work/Life newsletterFWL#27: Opportunities (and challenges) of the 'flipped workplace' Hosted on Acast.
