There’s 2 real world things that I think would need to happen in order for companies to go all-in:
1. Companies need success stories of that kind of ad-hoc innovation happening from within the company remotely. Otherwise someone will 100% kill it. Somewhat a function of how long until return to normalcy if that’s possible.
2. Another uncontrolled viral outbreak in the next decade changes the math on financial sustainability of the large campus and externally forces companies to go all-in.
From what I’ve seen I think companies hedge #2 happening by allowing remote in perpetuity, and it solves gnarly issues with “forcing” people back in. But at this point I don’t think #1 happens with this pandemic.
