The Apple Watch will invade your workspace. Here’s how to prepare | VentureBeat | Gadgets | by Alastair Mitchell, Huddle
Summary
Smartwatches have the potential to reinvent enterprise mobility, and businesses should prepare for how these changes will bring both new opportunities and new concerns. In recent research, MIT behavioral analysts used Bluetooth-enabled wearable badges, which they call sociometric devices, to study workplace dynamics. For example: Google is famous for its people-analytics studies, which track employee behavior to discover what makes Googlers more productive and fulfilled at work. “It’s the antithesis of the old factory model, where people were just cogs in a machine,” Ben Waber, Ph.D, founder of Sociometric Solutions, told the New York Times. Additionally, when workers step away from a company laptop or mobile device, their Apple Watches could issue alerts when they stray too far.
