Digital workplace technology is evolving fast, fueled by the post-pandemic realization that IT is vitally responsible for the productivity and satisfaction of modern organizations. But it’s not all going to plan.
Let’s start with a concept you’re probably familiar with: how it feels to get into a flow state at work. Maybe you were creating a new graphics package for a client deliverable.
