Reviews

'The impact of accelerating digital and physical convergence as our work life transforms toward the digital + physical blur is well represented in this new book by Paul Miller. Digital workplace transformation will enhance human performance and innovation across all industry sectors. Digital workplace transformation will further enrich our daily human life experience and our daily work life experiences.' Peter Miscovich, JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle) 'This book gets to the fundamentals of work in the digital realm of organisations today. Miller and co-author Marsh offer a humanist perspective on the fast digitisation of what used to be office-based work. It first stimulates our thinking and then, based on the vast and rich history of the Digital Workplace Group, situates these ideas in real and practical case material. This book will prepare you for the new age of work in organisations.' John Baptista, Warwick Business School, UK 'One of the most comprehensive, complete and compelling journeys toward the new frontier of the digital workplace. The latest work by Paul Miller offers one of the most thorough roadmaps for the digital traveller, who wants to be ready for the work environment of tomorrow. Nothing is omitted from this powerful narrative that touches on technology, but also on processes and even the psychology and ethical make-up of the digital workplace of the future' Giovanni Piazza, Johnson & Johnson - Discovery Sciences 'The future work agenda is gathering pace. In this optimistic and informative book, Miller and Marsh offer a guide to the thorny challenge of making digital workplace strategies more human.' Alison Maitland, co-author of Future Work 'As the digital workplace becomes the borderless enterprise, this book demonstrates pragmatic foresight on the integration of, and augmentation with technology, never losing sight of the fact that humans are at the center of the digital workplace.' Steven Tiell, Global Head Technology Vision, Accenture 'Paul and Elizabeth live at the forefront of the digitization of work, but remain primarily focused on people and the impact of technology on the human condition. The Digital Renaissance of Work provides a fresh and refreshingly optimistic insight into how we'll work in the future.' Ryan Anderson, Director of Future Technology, Herman Miller 'For any organisation trying to get beyond the visual symbols of new ways of working to deliver high-performance workplaces that are manageable and deliver for staff and customers, this is the most coherent and pragmatic text I've come across.' Chris Yapp, BCS 'There is a great deal to commend about this 216 page book. It is well structured and well written. Paul Miller's enthusiasm is infectious.' Martin White, Managing Director, Intranet Focus Ltd. 'This book provides an excellent starting point for any manager wanting to improve their company's digital environment.' Professional Manager, Spring 2015 'Overall this is an excellent introduction and guide to addressing deficiencies in working with digital tools and developing a robust programme of work to effect improvements across the organisation.' International Journal of Information Management, vol. 35, 2015

Reviews of his earlier book - The Digital Workplace:Paul Miller eloquently describes how the 21st century workplace is being transformed by the digitisation of our world. This is an insightful look at how the technological advances driving the digital age are already visibly changing the workplace and where those new capabilities might lead us. David Smith, Chief Innovation and Technology Officer, FujitsuFrom what he calls the terminal decline of the physical workplace, to the heightened importance of trust and autonomy in work arrangements outside of that space, to dealing with the potential loneliness of virtual offices, Paul Miller combines his considerable writing skills and vast experience in technology and communications to shape and share a vision of the future in The Digital Workplace: How Technology is Liberating Work. Miller provides a mix of fine examples of digital working practices, including some from his own Intranet Benchmarking Forum - which is completely virtual in its organization - to help illustrate his many observations on how technology is reshaping not just the workplace but most every aspect of modern work and more. Bob Libbey, Senior Director-Global Colleague Communications, PfizerEmbedded in this book is a possible blueprint for a paradigm shift in the digital relationship between a company and its employees, where the focus is on individual output, based on trust and freedom in terms of encouraging virtual work locations and flexible working-hours. David Coates, Head of Knowledge Exchange, Technology Strategy Board Technology Officer, Fujitsu Paul Miller provides a glimpse of the changes ahead and signposts some of the key themes in this new 'world of work'. The book is useful to anyone rethinking their approach to how to organise work and technology either at a personal or organisational levels. John Baptista, Associate Professor, Warwick Business SchoolPaul Miller's book The Digital Workplace: How technology is liberating work is an absolute must read for anyone interested in finding out how technology is changing the way we work for everyone on the planet. The way Paul Miller writes it from his own experiences and view of life - working and personal - makes it compelling to read. The examples Paul uses are ones we can all relate too and are real, not made up to fit a theoretical scenario. I loved the format of the book. If like me you sometimes put a book down and pick it up a little later you won't lose your thread and have to read back over the last few pages. In fact it is split into sections that are easy to use and refer back to again and again about the digital workplace. I found the 'top 10 digital workplace benefits, challenges, etc.' very good for focusing on the key points of each section. It's good to see Paul Miller share his expertise and enthusiasm with us in this book. I'm fortunate to know Paul so I realise every word is sincerely meant to help you, the reader. It's impossible to get serious about the digital workplace without reading and absorbing the ideas and examples in this book. Mark Morrell, CEO, www.intranet-pioneer.com <http://www.intranet-pioneer.com> I was surprised, at first, at the personal nature of Paul Miller's book 'The Digital Workplace: How technology is liberating work'. As I kept reading and realized that stories from the front lines of the digital workplace were being told by Paul and his team at the Digital Workplace Forum as well as from real experiences of their customers/members, I quickly began to resonate. The book became both an empathetic read as well as a teaser for what I can be looking for in my near future within my business. This book is a practical guide to the digital workplace today. It has some great lists of what I think of as benchmarks ready for me to reference and re-reference as I need them. Great! Thank you! Mark Goebel, IT Strategy & Council Consulting Director, Girl Scouts of the USAI read your book with great interest,
