What does it mean to be a flexible organization, and how does the tech- nology sector implement and manage it? Organizations are transitioning. The pandemic accelerated changes in the way we work and in the internal organization of corporations. Technology and flexibility have become two fundamental pillars to explain the future of work, and many companies have adopted a hybrid approach in the last three years. Although there is still no defined model, there is a lack of data to make decisions and many internal policies are based on trial and error: there is no going back.

Some talk about organized presentiality, others about a new paradigm shift.
