@aaronoleary I couldn't agree more! This ties in with my idea of asynchronous work. We don't need to be 9-5 in front of a screen to collaborate and work together.
I love β€οΈ Async work. Some of the benefits I saw of working Asynchronously:
π It allows for more flexibility in terms of when you can communicate with others.
π It allows for more efficient communication.
π It allows for more thorough communication.
π It allows for better communication in situations where people are in different time zones or have different work schedules.
π It can help to reduce stress and improve work-life balance.

I agree with asynchronous work! Also some of the main challenges will probably be creating a structure around asynchronous updates, time efficiency and alignment with stakeholders. Effective communication&collaboration tools surely will have an edge on.
@kartal_erkoc1 thanks for sharing! You're right! While reading, I came up with a question: How could communication not be affected by asynchronous work? The feeling that you belong to a team! Now, I have something to read about tonight!
@mimih_arteaga my company has been remote for 10 years and established quite a few async practices that creates a sense of belonging while we have meetings only a few times a month. For connection with manager instead of 1:1s we have written check ins, which is actually amazing.
For connection among employees we have various slack channels for fun discussions - question a day and moment of the week are the best ones in my opinion. There are lots of fun ways to engage asynchronously, while avoiding the zoom fatigue.
In the next 2-5 years, work is likely to change significantly due to technological advances. Some of the ways in which work may change include:
The rise of automation and artificial intelligence (AI) is likely to lead to the displacement of some jobs and the creation of new ones. Automation and AI can help businesses to increase productivity and efficiency, but they can also lead to job losses in industries such as manufacturing and customer service.
The increasing prevalence of remote work is likely to continue to grow, as advances in technology make it easier for employees to work from anywhere. This can lead to a more flexible and distributed workforce, but it can also create challenges around communication and collaboration.
The use of data and analytics is likely to become more widespread in the workplace, as businesses look to gain insights and make data-driven decisions. This can help to improve decision-making and increase productivity, but it can also raise concerns around privacy and data security.
The rise of the gig economy is likely to continue, as more people look to work on a freelance or contract basis. This can provide workers with more flexibility and control over their careers, but it can also create challenges around job stability and income security.
The increasing adoption of digital technologies is likely to drive the need for workers with digital skills, such as coding, data analysis, and digital marketing. This can lead to a shift in the skills that are in demand, and may require workers to upskill in order to remain competitive in the job market.
It's likely that technology will continue to automate many tasks and processes, which could lead to changes in the job market and the types of jobs that are available.
There could also be an increased use of virtual and augmented reality, as well as other technologies that make it possible for people to work from anywhere.
Additionally, there may be developments in AI and machine learning that change the way we approach problem-solving and decision-making in the workplace.
I believe that work will become more and more automated as technology advances. This could lead to fewer jobs overall, but also new and more interesting jobs as we figure out how to best utilize automation.
hmm, Asynchronous work seems right. For me, in the future will have less in-office work, and people tend to work remotely. E-contract, technology will formula as the internet now (now in SEA is not :( )
@jareer_samad Thanks for sharing your opinion, Jareer! Although we are already witnessing a lot of asynchronous work, I'm super confident that this type of work won't surprise as many people as it surprises today.
I think we are going to have more and more trouble managing tools, and although tools make work easier and efficient, managing them is going to take at least 1/3rd of the day.
I use copy.ai, Grammarly, Hubspot, Google Calendar, Intercom, Webflow, Notion, SEMRush, Google Analytics, and Slack everyday. There are others that I use once a week.
We are going to need a tool to manage tools. It's so tough to concentrate in the midst of the tool soup.
@veena_p thanks for sharing Veena. I also struggle with the tool soup, in fact, recently at https://collato.com/ we hosted a culture club and the topic was interruptions and distractions, and guess what came in first place? Yes, you are right, notifications from all the tools!
More and more people will opt for flexible working arrangements. Of course, the office culture and learning will take a hit but people will prefer to have the luxury of flexible working more.
It's difficult to predict exactly how work will change in the next 2-5 years due to technological advances, as it will depend on a variety of factors including the specific technologies that are developed and adopted, and how they are integrated into various industries. However, it's likely that we will see continued advancements in areas such as automation and artificial intelligence, which could potentially lead to increased efficiency and productivity in a variety of industries. We may also see the development of new technologies and platforms that enable remote work and collaboration, potentially leading to a more distributed and flexible workforce. Additionally, there may be developments in the field of virtual and augmented reality that could impact how work is performed and experienced. Overall, it's likely that we will continue to see significant changes in the way work is done due to technological advances, and it will be important for individuals and organizations to adapt and stay up-to-date with these developments.
In the next 2-5 years, work is likely to change significantly due to the continued advancement of technology. Some of the ways in which work may change include:
Increased automation: Many tasks that are currently performed by humans will likely be automated, such as data entry, customer service, and some forms of decision-making.
Greater use of artificial intelligence: AI will likely become more prevalent in the workplace, with companies using AI for tasks such as data analysis, predictive modeling, and decision-making.
More remote work: With the rise of remote work technologies, such as video conferencing and cloud-based collaboration tools, it is likely that more people will be able to work from anywhere, at any time.
Increased use of virtual and augmented reality: VR and AR technologies will likely become more widely adopted in the workplace, enabling people to interact with virtual environments and augment their real-world experiences.
Changes in the nature of work: As technology continues to advance, the nature of work itself may change, with new types of jobs emerging and old ones become obsolete.
It is likely that over the next 2-5 years, technology will continue to advance rapidly and will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the way we work. The increased use of automation and artificial intelligence in the workplace is one of the biggest changes we will likely see. As machines become more advanced and capable of handling a wider range of tasks, machines will likely take over many tasks currently performed by humans.
Another way that technology will potentially change the way we work is by enabling remote working. With the spread of high-speed Internet and the availability of powerful collaboration tools, it is becoming easier for people to work from anywhere in the world. This is likely to result in a more distributed and flexible workforce, with people able to work from home or in remote locations.
Let's see together how technology automation will change any human's life.

The interesting concept is the Follow-The-Sun model, where a Team based in one geography (say US time zone) collaborates with a Team in Eastern Asia and another one in EMEA.
Basically, the work is being passed on and never stops, while people work in "sunny" hours. I know personally a couple of e-commerce and automotive players already doing that, but curious if smaller startups and SMBs will do the same soon.
In the next 2-5 years, work will likely become more automated and efficient. π― This may result in the creation of new jobs in fields related to technology, as well as the elimination of some jobs that can be easily performed by machines.
@nilans Thanks for sharing!
Do you think we will see progress in problems like energy in the next 2-5 years? Even thought I'm very optimistic, not sure if that will happen that soon
@mimih_arteaga I think so. Energy is a big issue right now and I think governments around the world are going to be seriously looking into nuclear energy and other ones.
