Office Shock: The Spectrum of Climate

WHAT IF WE IMAGINE A FUTURE WHERE PEOPLE (IN A MESSY AND HAPHAZARD WAY) FIGURE OUT HOW TO EQUALIZE THE BALANCE BETWEEN PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION?
Imagine a world in which people (in a messy and haphazard way) figure out how to equalize the balance between production and consumption. Circular design on a global scale will revolutionize the throwaway society of 2023. Symbiosis and regeneration will be credible mantras. Offices around the world will know their carbon allotment and use AI to keep track of their goals. Giving up some privacy for individuals will be necessary to create a better climate balance. PPP—People Planet Prosperity—will express the intention and direction of change.

In their book, "Office Shock: Creating Better Futures for Working and Living," Bob Johansen and co-authors Joseph Press and Christine Bullen, will show you how to think future back — asking the questions:
What future do we envision?
What changes are coming next?
What shall we do now, to prepare ourself for unprecedented futures?
COVID-19, with all its tragic consequences, also created an opportunity to ask this basic question: why do we work in offices at all?

Office Shock, published by Berrett-Koehler in 2023, prepares leaders to answer these questions, and more. It identifies the spectrums of choices that must be made in the present to make a better office, and a better future. It will also educate readers on how to think about the future back — forecasting futures, revealing insights, and aligning actions — to re-imagine where and how “office work” can and should be done.
