Collaboration is needed only because no man is an island, and people come to the office on the single premise that what two people couldn't do sitting at their respective desks at home can be done better faster and cheaper when they come together at the office. Intelligent immersive tools will eventually overcome these limitations. Instead of the best local talent coming to your office, your office will 'travel'to the global best talent. Telepresence and live smart collaboration may even prove a boon when pandemic threats like the Coronavirus happen. Daniel Pink distilled it in his book Drive: millennials want, more than anything else, just three things to keep them engaged at work. Those are Inner Feeling of Autonomy, Pursuit of Mastery, and Sense of Purpose. Hence, going forward, the tools that promote flat hierarchies, frictionless sharing of vision and roadmaps, and flexible always-connected environments that promote remote work and agile interactions will be the most wanted among the new-age workforce.
