Jason Fried: The New Workplace for the New Normal (Video)

by Administrator ‎09-08-2011 07:50 AM - edited ‎09-08-2011 08:55 AM

 The workplace is undergoing a massive transformation to encourage collaboration, inspire creativity and protect productivity. In order to optimize it, companies have explored every aspect of the workplace, from the physical layout to management practices to incorporating new technology. In 2010, we talked to Jason Fried about the new workplace for the new normal.


Entrepreneur and author Jason Fried is the cofounder of 37signals, a company specializing in the development of online Web tools. The company's products, including Basecamp and Backpack, have over three million users worldwide. In 2004, 37signals released Ruby on Rails, which has become the platform that enables such applications as Hulu and Twitter. Recently, Fried has been most involved with the idea of designing the optimal workplace in order to build better business. Along with coauthoring all of 37signal's books, including the recently released REWORK, Fried is a frequent speaker on the topics of entrepreneurship, management and software.

Found this interview to be fantastic. As a small business owner, I found that the discussion was pertinent to my own experience and viewpoints as well. I am glad to have it spelled out as clearly as Jason did because it is also very easy to forget at times to keep it simple. Thank you!

I love all Jason Fried interviews, especially this one. He's a great model for entrepreneurs that want to think outsitde the box. His book Rework is an epiphany of the modern business, and reveals how simplicity can change your business. Love it! Thanks HP!

This is great! 

It's sad for me because I am disabled and could help save people's lives but it is not accepted in the Public Service arena. With 5 1/2 years experience I consider myself still an asset. Also in a emergency what bakup do we have for rhe milions of 911 dispatchers in the U.S.A.?  Most are overworked and overstressed.

Thanks best of luck, peace be with you!
