Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, has said that the concept of work being a place where you physically clock in and clock out is fading.

Speaking at Microsoft’s Future Decoded in London, he said: “Work is no longer is a place you go to. Work is about making things happen where you are. [It is also] having the experience you need to get things done, available on every device wherever.”

“You need to be able to bring people together in networks that are no longer confined to organisational hierarchy.”
