Given the seismic changes in everyone’s lives since March 2020, it’s little surprise that the way we work has become just as radically different. However, the conversation around remote and hybrid working has continued to rage on, especially in the UK. That’s why the team at Scoro wanted to get to the bottom of the situation. We’ve conducted a thorough survey to understand exactly what Brits’ attitudes towards the way they work have been over the past 18 months.

There was a time, not so long ago, when the idea of managing projects remotely would have been laughed out of most offices. Since then, however, a few things have changed. Many businesses are returning to the office after the pandemic, but a full return to work is not what many employees and employers want.

According to a UK-wide survey, 31% of business projects fail at an estimated overall cost of £250 billion to the UK economy. Why?

We’ve written a great deal about project management and work management and the benefits they bring. But what exactly is collaborative work management? Why is it different, and how does it benefit knowledge workers and their teams? Let’s find out. As workplace models evolve, so do the terms and practices which companies use. Hybrid working – where employees enjoy a mixture of remote and office working – has soared.

In your haste to get started on a new project, you might be tempted to skip some of the formalities of introductions. Indeed, many people opt to forgo an initial project kickoff meeting, making a very costly mistake in the process. Imagine being sat around a table with your project’s stakeholders and being greeted with the terrifying realization that no one is getting what they expect from a project you have already started.
