Companies Move Away From Centralized OfficesFrom this NYT article:
"For more than a decade, [heretics] have promoted the idea that a decentralized network of workplaces might serve the needs of employees and companies better than a large central headquarters."
but the idea has failed to catch on until...
"the current confluence of crisis and technology appears to be prompting a reassessment of old thinking about the way big organizations should organize people."
Some of the motivators are:
- "you're better positioned for business continuity if you're distributed"
- "a lot of people that they want a better balance between their personal and professional life"
- "alternative workplace arrangements [can produce] reduced real estate costs and higher productivity"
- "the desire to find one large space for their displaced employees as quickly as possible"
