Beyond the desktop – internal communication in a \’work anywhere\’ world Work is no longer 5 days a week, 9am to 5pm and the walls of a cubicle. Today, the "office" can be at home, a conference room, a café, a hotel room—or even the front seat of a car. Employees are also pushing for new ways to work that align with how they use social, mobile, and digital tools in their day-to-day lives. These two trends have a huge potential to improve our ability to collaborate and increase our productivity, however, what role does technology play in supporting this new world of work and what does it mean for internal communications?
