Data & Results

DAY 1 RESEARCH

ANALYSIS
One gap became apparent after Day 1 of our research. For all of the discussion around generative AI, only 3 of 30, or 10%, of those we surveyed mentioned anything re: AI. Among the attendees we surveyed 68% were managers. Rather than dismissing AI as overhyped, executives and companies should move past the mundane divisiveness of WTH and RTO. Doing so will allow them to invest in higher order work activities among their managers and employees.

Innovative Work Practices
#1 - Remote work flexibility was the most frequently mentioned practice.
24% - Strategies such as time blocking, extended outsourcing, and special events for staff.
21% - AI: Utilization of AI for tasks, Generative AI; and Geospatial Intelligence.

Human Productivity (Non-Tech)
Organizational Tools: Good Management, Networking Events, Flexible Scheduling, Knowledge Database.
Wellbeing: Workout, Diet, Music, Mental Health Awareness & Activities.
Work Environment Enhancers: Outside Workspaces, Visual Mediums incl. White Board.

Work Setting
#1 - A hybrid location of work model was the most commonly recognized. WFH and Office-Based received equal representation.
