Masters of Scale
Work Productivity and Evolution of Work Environment
The traditional belief that time spent in the office equates to productivity is outdated. Emphasis should be on output rather than hours worked, especially early in one's career. The company's decision to focus on understanding the evolution of customer needs led to the acquisition of LUM, a video product that promotes asynchronous communication as a more productive method. This approach to work has led to the acquisition of other companies and a desire to introduce these products to more companies. The speaker expects a widening variation in work environments, with some companies embracing new methods, while others stick to traditional approaches, thereby allowing employees to choose their preferred work environment.
