If the corona crisis has taught us anything, it is our ability to embrace a completely new way of working. People who had never worked from home now do not want to do it any other way. This pandemic has, strangely enough, given us the control to organize our work differently. And your time. You can take the dog for a walk at your own time. This brings more responsibility and we also immediately see the impact that the 'new' way of working brings with it. Without realizing it, we have ended up in the future.
I don't know about you, but in the beginning I did run into old habits that were completely incompatible at home (probably not at the office either At the office I often printed minutes, memos or other reports. The ink in my printer at home was already empty before I got to page ten. After some resistance and many cartridges later I decided it was time to break that habit.

In the book 'Innoshock' by Dirk Boe (affiliate) a italy telegram data transformation wheel explains how to get to the ultimate work experience. With this wheel the author wants to expose where there is friction in a company and where habits are stuck. If we turn all segments, you will eventually arrive at the ultimate work experience.
The crisis has already taken us out of our comfort zone. If we can also let go of our past experiences, that ultimate work experience is within reach.

This means that because of our box we do not always perceive reality as it is, but as we (want to) see it. Then it almost seems as if our way of looking is the only correct one.
and then and looking through someone else's glasses helps you to break away from your own dominant perception and the view of the world that is shaped by it. Looking back on the past eight months, I think we have all acquired a different (perhaps temporary) view of the world.
