Companies need to continue to accelerate change to become full digital enterprises. It's nonnegotiable. That's what we heard from top CEOs and CTOs yesterday during our CNBC @Work Spotlight event. We discussed how the convergence of connected technologies like 5G, AI and the cloud are informing the workforce of the future, and the unexpected upsides of the pandemic. A few major takeaways below from our main sessions. You can watch the full interviews and read more coverage from the event on cnbc.com/work.
Genpact CEO "Tiger" Tyagarajan:
We are living the future faster than expected.
We've been living through a journey of the future of work for some years now with digital transformation at center stage for enterprises. The past 100 days have compressed that five-year journey to 12 to 18 months. We can get to that future faster in an exponential way.
Honeywell Connected Enterprise CEO Que Dallara:
We're seeing an acceleration of the future.
We've seen the value of software innovation. But for the frontline worker and operational world (where Honeywell lives), you don't have these tools. The technologies haven't been affordable and effective, but that's changing with 5G, the cloud and AI. But Covid is also changing the assumptions we have around work, even the operational world. How do we run a factory remotely? How do we keep our frontline workers safe and productive?
VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger:
Remote work is here to stay.
Before Covid, we were almost 20% work from home and now we're 97% WFH and distributed workforces, like everyone else. But what happens on the other side of this? We've been pretty productive. Our customers have said every metric of efficiency is equal or better in this period of time. So maybe this is a better way of working, with less commuting, less carbon footprint, more discretionary time without commutes, more access to diverse and distributed workforces without barriers. We've already redesigned workplaces from office hotels to hubs of collaboration. We're making sure we have all the collaboration tools to make us most productive for that in-office work (whether it's once a week or once a month), not to mention learning the new norms of remote work and some of those tribal aspects. But on the other side of this, we may be triple work-from-home workers.
