| | March 20218THE FUTURE OF WORK REIMAGINEDBy Glen Robson, Chief Technology Officer, Client Solutions Group, Dell Technologiesur innovation journey continues to progress, and we'd like to share our visions for the fu-ture of work in - and beyond - the office.In early 2020, we talked about our vision for "intelligent companion" devices. We shared how PCs will be-come more aware of their own con-dition, location, surroundings, level of security and capabilities. We also showcased how multi-screen devices have the potential to unlock new ways of working and increase productivity. We continue to explore different ways technologies like cloud, 5G and artificial intelligence will come together to improve the PC experience.These intelligent, personalized, immersive and mod-ern experiences are core to all we do--and they will con-tinue to take center stage as we look to the future of hy-brid work. Our innovation journey continues, and we'd like to share some of our visions for the future of work in - and beyond - the office.Office Experiences Of The FutureFor more than a decade, we've built a culture around the idea that work is outcomes based and not anchored to a specific place or time. The future of work will be a hybrid model where employees work from various loca-tions aligned to work schedules and lifestyle. This hybrid model will change the physical office layout significantly. Offices will be re-imagined to foster collaboration. Think reservation-based work spaces and collaboration areas instead of cubicles or permanent desks. Team members will frequent-ly transition in-and-out, as well as around, work spaces.We're exploring intuitive work-place technologies and concepts to help with this future office experi-ence. As consumers, we've become accustomed to features that make our lives easier. Whether it's our speakers adapting to the music we're stream-ing, our cars unlocking as we ap-proach them, or smart thermostats knowing if we're at home and adjusting the temperature accordingly. That's the same level of experience we are exploring for our office environment.Imagine if you could reserve a work space on an app before you even arrive at the office. AR mapping could help facilities manage the flow of team members and gain insights into utilized space.At your assigned desk, a wireless dock could sense your device, connect you to the network and adjust to your preferred display settings before you've even sat down. Wireless charging hidden under the desk could remove concerns about battery life. Surfaces remain clut-ter free, and you could pick up your device to disconnect upon departure, so the desk is ready for the next user.This could be a typical office experience within the next couple of years, and we want to help organizations IN MY OPINIONGlen Robson,Chief Technology OfficerO
