The liminal space in which we find ourselves globally as individuals as well as organisations has us collectively wanting to go back to normal, mourning its loss and asking ourselves – what does the next normal look like? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liminality, in an anthropological sense, is the period of crossing over from a space in which you are leaving something behind, yet you are not yet fully in something else. A transitional space.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In life, liminal spaces are usually more clearly defined as we move from childhood into adulthood, enter from education into a working life or the transition of personal life from single, to engaged, to married status. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference today, in this global pandemic, there is no map. No master of ceremonies holding our hand through the transitional grey.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result. Ambiguity. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And ultimately, for some as clarity does not appear, anxiety. In a personal and professional sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today’s workplace, as research by McKinsey<\/a> shows, 66% of all leaders have not crystalized their vision on post-lock down operations. This is cause for concern, not just on an operational level. 47% of individuals feel a lack of clear vision about the post-pandemic world is a cause for concern and this anxiety is increasing stress levels, with burn out and loss of productivity and innovation as a result. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All research points to a shift towards more remote working. The benefits are obvious: saving costs, reducing Co2 emissions and improved productivity, provided there is enough space for personal contact, collaborative discussion and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisations need to begin mapping out.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Further than a redesign of their floor plan:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
