While in Sydney delivering the locknote at the ServiceNow Sydney Summit, I had the opportunity to meet with my friends at Espresso Displays. We were able to turn my room at the W Sydney into a mini studio. Our conversation explored the future of work in two parts. Here’s part one…

Work is evolving faster than ever before. In an age of uncertainty, its even more important to rethink our relationship to work. Brian Solis, the Global Head of Innovation at Service Now, recently shared insights and perspectives on the next evolutions of productivity and experiences that can create a healthier approach to work.

In this interview, Solis delves into the shifting landscapes of work culture and technology, highlighting the importance of reimagining workspaces, tools, and mindsets.

Solis emphasizes that the best work is achieved not merely by being more productive but through meaningful and inspired experiences. He explores emerging technologies and trends, aiming to reverse engineer business operations and foster innovation.

According to Solis, work is no longer confined to traditional settings; it’s about finding inspiration anywhere, anytime.

“What excites me the most about this is the Playbook isn’t written,” Solis remarks. “Work itself can be anywhere, any place, anytime.” He sees this as an opportunity to unleash creativity and redefine the meaning of work. Rather than viewing work as a constraint, Solis encourages embracing uncertainty and leveraging it to shape the future.

Reflecting on the future of work, Solis emphasizes the need to rethink workspaces and tools. He advocates for spaces that inspire collaboration and creativity, whether physical or virtual. Solis himself travels extensively, relying on innovative tools like the espresso display to stay connected and productive on the go.

“Work reimagined, whether it’s at home or in the office, has to be the same,” Solis asserts. He envisions a world where technology empowers individuals to achieve the extraordinary, transcending the limitations of traditional work environments.

As we navigate the ever-changing landscape of work, Solis reminds us that the future is ours to shape. By embracing uncertainty and leveraging technology, we can unlock new possibilities and redefine the way we work.
