This paper draws attention to four central concepts in Schrödinger’s ‘What is Life?’ that have not, as yet, received sufficient attention in the domain of complexity: delayed entropy, free energy, order out of order and aperiodic crystal. It then demonstrates the important role the four elements play in the dynamics of complex systems by elaborating on their implications for cities as complex systems.
We live in a world of moving targets. Once we get into routines we feel comfortable, and from comfort comes confidence. Yet in a world of moving targets, we need to be open to change.
COVID-19 has forced millions of staff, worldwide, to work from home rather than the office — creating a mass reliance on cloud-powered technologies. Video conferencing and remote access to documents are both cloud-based services, involving users accessing software applications and data stored externally in data centres.
And, thanks to these services, many people have found it easier to work from home, with the result that not everyone will come back, or be willing to come back, to an office — at least not full-time. So, how can employers prepare for this new era? Many, it seems, plan to move to a distributed work model (on site, remote and hybrid), with flexible work options (over where, when and how work gets done, and who does it).
The gig economy — and the growing group of digital nomads within it — requires a wider variety of new products and services than businesses and governments are currently prepared to deliver.
Last week Google sent out a notice reminding domain administrators that the end of the classic version of Google Sites is near. That prompted me to publish directions for transition from the classic version of Google Sites to the current version. I also shared a set of tutorials for building your first website with the current version of Google Sites.
Once you've made the switch to the current version of Google Sites, you might want to go beyond the basics to add some interesting features to your site to make it a one-stop shop for all of your students' and parents' needs. Here are some things you can do to enhance your Google Site with additional features.
When the coronavirus pandemic took hold in early 2020, organizations across the globe had to quickly transition their employees to a remote work environment.
Roughly a year later, full-scale telework is still a reality for many organizations, especially so in the United States. Research from Mursion, Inc., a virtual reality training platform, found that most companies will stay in a remote or hybrid work environment, as just 9% of managers and 13% of employees plan to go back to the office full-time in the next six months.
Teleperformance, a customer experience management company, recently announced a shift to a hybrid work model across its global operations, a decision based on its telework success during the pandemic.
“Work from anywhere is not a pandemic play,” said Jose Guereque, executive vice president of infrastructure and chief information officer at Teleperformance. “We will keep the hybrid scheme forever as our permanent model.”
"Could greater public approval of homeschooling be an unexpected result of the pandemic’s forced experiment in remote online learning? Two surveys make it look that way."
By their very nature, pandemics shake the systems of society, and that is certainly true for the global educational system right now. Institutions have had to adjust their entire structures, and fo…
People who lose track of time aren't rude, researchers say — they may just be listening to their inner timekeeper instead of an external clock. Living according to "event time" has its benefits.
The metaverse is no longer just a buzzword – it’s the future of business, and the possibilities are limitless. From creating value in virtual economies to transforming the way we work, the metaverse is reshaping the future of commerce, and your business can’t afford to be left behind.
Of all the habits that Americans picked up during the chaotic conditions of 2020, which ones are truly here to stay? We may say goodbye to those shelves full of hand sanitizer, but the rise of remote works looks like a game-changer -- in a huge way.
As of May 20, the percentage of paid job postings on LinkedIn that offered “remote work” has skyrocketed 457% from the year-earlier share, according to LinkedIn’s Economic Graph team. That analysis covers about two million job listings in the past year, ranging from children’s book editors to anti-money-laundering experts.
This report, co-authored by Faethm and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), combines BCG's world-leading capabilities in strategic workforce planning, with the most advanced analytics available, on the impact of new technologies on jobs and work from Faethm.
The report focuses on three different markets - the USA, Germany and Australia - and takes into account a range of different scenarios from the impact of COVID-19.
The increasing adoption of automation, artificial intelligence (AI), and other technologies suggests that the role of humans in the economy will shrink drastically, wiping out millions of jobs in the process. COVID-19 accelerated this effect in 2020 and will likely boost digitization, and perhaps establish it permanently, in some areas.
However, the real picture is more nuanced: though these technologies will eliminate some jobs, they will create many others. Governments, companies, and individuals all need to understand these shifts when they plan for the future.
Founders and executives around the globe have taken lessons learned over the past year to inform their view of what their workplace will look like in the future. At this week's Collision conference, the future of the workplace was top-of-mind--though founders had a wide diversity of expectations about how their companies will work coming out of the pandemic. Here are a few of the most fascinating.
Knowledge process outsourcing (KPO) is the outsourcing of core, information-related business activities. KPO involves contracting out work to individuals that typically have advanced degrees and ex…
Numbers are up across the board for employer-based credential programs as companies develop a robust parallel higher education infrastructure. Research out of credentialing platform Credly found that the number of organizations building their own curriculum and issuing credentials is up 83% since the start of COVID in 2020.
The rapid advancement of technology, combined with increased uncertainty, is making the most important career logic of the past counterproductive going forward. The world, to put it bluntly, has changed, but our philosophy around skills development has not. Today's dynamic complexity demands an ability to thrive in ambiguous and poorly defined situations, a context that generates anxiety for most, because it has always felt safer to generalize. Just think about some of the buzzwords that characterized the business advice over the past 40 to 50 years: Core competence, unique skills, deep expertise. For as far back as many of us can remember, the key to success was developing a specialization that allowed us to climb the professional ladder.
By now, it’s clear that the office isn’t going away. And yet, with the rise in remote work and an increasing number of companies adopting hybrid work models, it is just as clear that the role of the office has evolved and the workplace is not likely to ever operate the same as it did prior to the coronavirus pandemic.
While there are still many people that are questioning not only when, but also why should employers bring back employees to the office, the truth is that most workers don’t want to work from home all day, every day. Gensler’s 2020 Workplace Survey found that only 12% of workers want to work from home all the time, while the rest still chose the office as their preferred place to work.
