WHAT IS IT?
More than 140,000 U.S. employees surveyed since the onset of the pandemic. These insights paint a vivid picture of how different offices will be and the unique dynamics of a highly flexible workplace.

WHY IMPORTANT

  1. Where are employees working now, and where will they work in the future?
  2. What happens if organizations do not support remote flexibility?
  3. Why do many remote-ready employees prefer hybrid work?
  4. What will the future workweek look like?
  5. How can we make hybrid work more productive and engaging?

Leveraging three cognitive principles—active recall, metacognition, and spaced repetition— flashcards help you learn TWICE as efficiently as any other study method.

WHY IMPORTANT

Flashcards are hands-down the most effective way for motivated learners to study and retain factual knowledge, especially when the flashcards are used properly. And there are good scientific reasons for this. Flashcards are effective because they make you pull information out of your memory (instead of just reading or recognizing it), and this helps you build memories quicker and perform much better on tests.

Digital transformation accelerated by the pandemic has seen many disruptive technologies deployed across industries. We look at the most common types

WHY IMPORTANT
Disruptive technology is an advancement that changes the way consumers, industries, or businesses operate. Disruptive techs have the potential to replace age-old practices. Few areas of business are seeing more such changes than supply chains. These are evolving to become digital networks that are on-demand and always-on. As such, they have the potential to deliver massive economic and environmental rewards, boosting productivity and sustainability, driving new markets, and encouraging innovation as digital transformation continues.

With hyper-automation, organizations can process data intelligently by using the right technology- Machine Learning (ML), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), NLP and ensure that their people achieve the right work-life balance which is crucial to retaining valuable human resources.

WHY IMPORTANT
It is humanly impossible to process data of such mammoth proportions without any errors. A single error can have an avalanche effect on the entire process and cost the organization dearly.

It is this pain point that hyper-automation seeks to address with the aid of Artificial Intelligent and Robotic process automation. Any industry which involves manual and repetitive processes with unstructured data stand to benefit the most from hyper-automation

Computer vision neural network-powered “Choose My Model” try-on feature, now in beta, which will now allow Walmart customers to select a model that better matches their own appearance and body type. Online shoppers will be able to choose from among 50 different models to find one who best reflects their own skin tone, height and body shape so they can get a better idea of how clothing would look on them.

WHY IMPORTANT
One of the most frustrating aspects of shopping for clothes online is understanding how an item will actually look on you. Also, helping to cut down on the number of returns of clothes that don’t work when tried on at home.
