Episode 57: 100 people and no offices – the new normal?




Digital Workplace Impact show

Summary: Digital Workplace Group (DWG) has no offices. There were offices in London and New York until seven years ago – but people didn’t seem to choose to work there very often, so they were closed. Today, there are about 100 people across Europe and North America, who work anywhere and everywhere for the organization. In this episode, Paul Miller interviews two of his colleagues about what it is like to work for DWG and to work remotely. Together, they discuss the culture and how it differs from working elsewhere, what the challenges can be of working remotely, and what large corporates can learn from this small organization. Please note that this interview was recorded in February, before coronavirus was declared a pandemic. Guest speakers: Nancy Goebel, Managing Director, Member Services, and Louise Kennedy, User Experience Consultant, both from DWG.
