Office Shock: The Spectrum of Purpose

WHAT IF WE IMAGINE A FUTURE WHERE MORE OFFICE WORKERS ARE MOTIVATED BY A SENSE OF PURPOSE AND MEANING?
Imagine a world in which more office workers are motivated by a sense of purpose and meaning. Money and personal needs will still be part of this spectrum (particularly until you reach basic levels of safety and sustenance), but the higher ground will be meaningful work. People will understand the wisdom of purpose—as well as its business value. Leaders especially will be very mindful about personal and organizational intentions, sense of purpose, and clarity of direction.

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.
