moving out of the

strong motivators for
taking sustainability
seriously. But

Consumer
technology means
Sunday and Monday
are merging. Our
personal cloud is the
digital repository
from which we
manage the different

lives, complimenting
our physical
experience. 7 COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
9. On the Road to True Productivity
We need to think
holistically about the
workplace, adopting
a combined
approach to our
physical and virtual
workspaces. Less
focus on location
and process, greater
focus on insight and
networks of people.

manufacturing and
crowd prediction
have become reality.
