3. Technology Acceleration
in the Workplace #MarcoTradeshow18
Five generations all in a
single workforce!
That means roots run deep,
values differ, and technology
can either be a bridge or a
barrier.
1996-present: iGen, aka Generation Z
1977-1995: Millennials, aka Generation Y
1965-1976: Generation X
1946-1964: Baby Boomers
1945 and earlier: Traditionalists
Some companies will lose 80% of their service
workforce starting in 2020!
4. “Great things in business are
never done by one person;

Goldfish, with an attention span of 9 seconds, now have us beat.
According to a Time report, this is a four-second drop from 2000, when humans

Technology is a driving factor behind this drop.

Collaboration is no longer a buzzword
Comfort talking to machines.
already talk to our phones, our cars, and our houses.
we’ll start talking to our conference rooms, soon after that, to artificially-intelligent team members.
It’s driven not just by the rapid evolution of team-focused tools like work chat and video conferencing, but by social and economic forces like the increasing time and resources required for commuting, and the leveling skills and expertise across geographies.
Offices will evolve to contain team-focused open areas, which will be reinforced with technology. These spaces, like our living rooms at home, designed to be comfortable zones for people to gather and for them to interact with media, data, and remote co-workers.
Businesses will start to look at a physical space that encourages team collaboration and add in video technologies that support high emotional fidelity (high-frame-rate, high-resolution, low-latency audio and video) plus AI-based ambient technology to assist in its use.

If it looks like rain, ads for umbrellas and indoor activities will be shown; if it’s sunny, maybe the displays will decide to show ads for a local water park or an outdoor music festival. The playlist will no longer be entirely in the hands of the people scheduling content – computers will make certain choices based on external data correlations.
