The Nowhere Office, AI and the Future of Work

The workplace is changing faster than ever, but are we asking the right questions? As organisations grapple with hybrid working, AI and shifting employee expectations, many are still searching for a clear vision of what work should become.

In this episode of Workplace Geeks, Chris Moriarty is joined by journalist, author and The Nowhere Office founder Julia Hobsbawm to explore how work is evolving and why our thinking needs to evolve with it.

Together they discuss why AI has arrived before we’ve fully understood hybrid work, how organisations can move beyond outdated assumptions, and why history should help us shape the future rather than dictate it. It’s a conversation about curiosity, agency and building workplaces that reflect the world we’re actually living in.

This episode explores:

• Why the workplace is still searching for its next chapter
• How AI is accelerating change before we’ve adapted to the last wave
• The difference between following rules and exercising judgement
• Why history should inform the future, not define it
• How leaders can build organisations that are ready for continual change

Whether you’re leading a workplace transformation or simply trying to make sense of what’s changing around us, this is a thoughtful conversation about the future of work and the choices we still have to make.
