It's really hard to predict at some level how the use of office space, technologies and even lease agreements will change. Who would have predicted some of the office technology we have today? But it's fun to look into the future of offices. I think if you ask 50 different people what the office of the future will look like, you’ll get 50 different answers.

Computers have made it possible to work from just about anywhere. The office of the future will make that reality more visible as wireless networks become more robust and more widely available. You cell phone switches to a land line when you enter the building, etc. There are lots of possibilities for mobility. The serviced office will make mobile workers more productive with the technology that becomes available. Roger is right. Computers have made it possible to work from just about anywhere.

The future is going to be about connected productivity." That's a simple way to put it. I agree with that. Today we have more specialists, more layers of approval, more departments, more fingers in the pie, as it were. That bogs down the production pipeline. The office of the future will accommodate for that with what he rightly called connected productivity. The fellow from Zoho said this: “The past decade or two has been about standalone productivity.

I think there are some diverse perspectives here. I was also struck by Stark's answer that it won't look much different than it does today. I can see what he means about the baseline of the function of an office, but I think there's a lot more room for creative thought around the use of serviced offices, coworking spaces and telecommuting that we can consider.

I think the keyword is diversity. Offices will continue to evolve in terms of space usage, technologies, etc. I didn't agree with Stark's take on the matter. I think offices of the future will look much different if by no other reason than the technologies. There are definitely a lot of takes on what the office of the future will look like.
