Looking ahead to 2023, it’s clear we’re seeing the long-tail, and often unexpected implications of the combustive changes seen in 2019-22 take root in the B2B landscape. With the workplace settling into its new post-Covid pace, with its Non-linear working habits and Supercommuters. We’ve created newfound space for long held institutions of working life to be questioned. Like, do we need human or Virtual CEOs? Will we ever fully retire Rewirement and Unretirement?
