How to create NWoW?

The New Way of Working (NWoW) places people centre-stage and creates around them a great and inspiring work environment where they can (ability) and want (motivation) to give their best at work.

There are 4 dimensions to the work environment:

1. IT devices & apps enabling people to work anywhere, anytime and work together in new ways;
2. The Office becomes an attractive meeting place where people are longing to be and work;
3. The Organization's mission, structure & culture become drivers to improve its effectiveness & efficiency by connecting people together and directing their actions;
4. The Mentality at work especially the relationships between managers and subordinates and among peers as well as self-management of the individual. 

We can command people to be on time or finish the task at hand before end of day, but we can never command people to give their best. They can only give that out of their free will and (intrinsic) motivation.

By creating an integrated, multi-dimensional work environment we are trying to accomplish just that.

More of this in future blogs and in chapter 3 of 'Journey towards the New Way of Working'.
