Future of collaboration 08/03/2024

IVY EXEC Research Studies

I was asked by IVY Research Studies what I thought was the future of collaboration. What do you think of my predictions below?

The future of collaboration

The future of collaboration will evolve through the convergence of a range of hand-held and wearable mobile devices informed by UX accessibility principles and social media theory. Multi-modal and immersive blended collaborative spaces will be inclusive. Some trends to look out for in the next 3 to 5 years are:

– single login for cross platform utilisation

– enhancements in multi-media input and output

– personal drones to promote walking collaboration meetings

– the integration of AI generators in personalisation of collaborative spaces

– advancements in the use of templates for collaboration events e.g. brainstorming

– 3D webinar circles blended with face-to-face events
